Robert Motherwell Catalogue Raisonné
please click here: Catalogue Raisonné
Price: $95.
A few of the final prints completed by Robert Motherwell prior to his passing are on this page. These prints represent the best of the last three years of his production, demonstrating the artist’s diverse accomplishments as a master printmaker. Many of these, being among the last of his prints, have been in the market place for a very short time and are therefore exceptional values. As an unrelated group of prints from a relatively short period of his life, they serve as beautiful examples of the energy and expression found in his strongest works.
Although the last prints, these fall into his classic suites of elegiac images, automatic gestures and faux-collage prints. The themes range from roughly gestural to elegantly calligraphic images and from spontaneous to highly composed forms. The notable innovation in this group would be Motherwell’s "Hollow Man" suite of images (begun in the mid-1980s) which involve a hollowed-out structure that relates to his "Elegies" but are on a more human scale.
Out of a total of 464 signed editions produced by Motherwell, only four editions are estate stamped (instead of signed by the artist). As with the latest series of prints published for Richard Diebenkorn and Francis Bacon, a few of Motherwell’s prints from the last year of his life were released by his estate as unsigned editions because they were "in process" at the time of the artist’s death and the plates were completed to the artist’s approved standards and expectations. Motherwell began these images in his Greenwich studio in the fall of 1990, and the images had been proofed by his personal printer, Catherine Mosley, in the late spring of 1991 when he left for Provincetown. Expecting to return in the fall to sign them as complete editions, Motherwell died July 16, 1991 at the age of 76.
