Artist: Roy Lichtenstein (American, 1923-1997). Title: "Brushstroke Contest". Medium: Color offset lithograph. Date: Composed 1988. Dimensions: Overall size: 34 x 24 in. (864 x 610 mm). Image size: 28 1/4 x 22 1/2 in. (718 x 571 mm).Lot Note(s): Signed in pencil, lower right. Edition unknown, some printed, none distributed. White, medium-weight smooth wove paper. Full margins. Fine impression. Fine condition. Literature/catalogue raisonne: Unknown to Doering/Von der Osten. Not catalogued but existence noted in Corlett. Comment(s): An extremely rare poster. No auction records located. The contract to produce the posters for the XXIV Olympic Games in 1988 in Seoul was awarded to Lloyd Shin of Chicago, who had a gallery in Chicago and a gallery and contacts in Seoul. A number of prominent artists, including Lichtenstein, agreed to create images for the posters. It is unclear what happened but apparently the posters were never distributed, though a number were printed. A few were given to the participating artists. This image was then used by Lichtenstein later in 1988 for a lithograph of the same name, printed in 1989 (Corlett 235). Corlett states (pg.216) that "the image was initially designed for use as a poster for the 24th Olympiad, but it was never used for that purpose. The brushstrokes form the Chinese characters for 'contest'". Published by Lloyd Shin Gallery, Inc. Image © Estate of Roy Lichtenstein. [28315-6-2400]

Comment(s): Although this work is often catalogued as a lithograph, or silkscreen, or pochoir, or photo-lithograph, in reality it is none of these. By 1964 Guenther Dietz, the printer, had created a unique fine printing system which involved the use of both lithographic plates and serigraphic screens. He and master printers from his company (Guenther Dietz Offizin Handpresse GmbH, Munich & Lengmoos, Germany) printed this work under the direct supervision and participation of Picasso himself. Dietz used grease crayon, lithographic tusche, lead pencil, and charcoal, among others, to create the matrixes and receive Picasso’s approval to print the edition (Cramer, ‘Livres’ 148). The plates and screens were destroyed after printing. Published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York. Image copyright © Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York. [30012-2-800]

Comment(s): Scarce/rare with the signature. Huge, almost seven feet high. According to 'Gordon's Art Reference' the highest price achieved in the past three years at auction for another example (signed) of this object is $5,879 (£3,750) at Bonhams, Knightsbridge, February 22, 2012, lot #372. Features Hockney's oil on canvas "Harlequin" (1980). Published by the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York. Hockney, often referred to as England's greatest living artist, made brilliant contributions to the world of opera as a stage and costume designer. He also designed numerous posters. Beginning in 1975 with his work for Stravinksy's 'The Rakes Progress', until 1990 when he worked on 'Turandot', Hockney worked for the major opera houses. Among his most memorable productions were Mozart's 'Magic Flute' and Wagner's 'Tristan and Isolde'. His collaboration with the Metropolitan Opera on Eric Satie's 'Parade' is best remembered for this poster. The image, with Hockney's neo-pop decor and costumes, showcases a juggler whose contortions fit eye-catchingly into the poster's elongated format. If the opera itself is not so popular, this image has become a classic. [courtesy Nick Lowry, Swann Galleries]. Printed by the Petersburg Press, New York. Poster image copyright © David Hockney.

In 1926, Munakata saw Kawakami Sumio's black-and-white woodcut "Early Summer Breeze," and decided to work on black-and-white prints. From 1928 onwards, Hiratsuka Unichi (1895–1997), another renowned sosaku hanga printmaker, taught Munakata wood carving. In 1929, four of his prints were accepted by the Shunyokai Exhibition, which bolstered his confidence in the new medium. In the following year (1930), four more of his woodcuts were accepted for the Kokugakai national exhibition, thus establishing him in his career. Image copyright © The Estate of Shiko Munakata.
