Item Details
Description
A graphic pop art screenprint in colors on wove paper titled "Baby, Baby Wild Things" by Gerald Laing. Hand signed in pencil on the bottom right with an annotation of 22/200 on the bottom left. Dated 1968. Published by Richard Feigen, New York, with the artist's blindstamp. The 24/200 example of this screenprint is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the 3/200 example is in the permanent collection of the Art Institute Chicago. The artwork celebrates the modern movement, femininity, and body liberation within the 1960s. From a private collection. Dimensions: 35"h x 23"w (unframed). In very good vintage condition. Gerald Laing (1936-2011) was one of the leading British artists of his generation. He shot to fame as a student at Saint Martin's School of Art in the early 1960s and spent most of the decade working in New York. His paintings of film stars, dragsters, and other icons of popular culture place him as a major figure in both the British and American Pop art movements. In the late sixties his work became more abstract and sculptural, reflecting the "cool" style that was coming to dominate the New York art scene. A move to the highlands of Scotland in 1969 inspired the use of more substantial forms and rugged materials. In 1973 Laing abandoned pure abstraction and began modelling in clay and casting in bronze, becoming one of the country's leading figurative sculptors. In 2003 he returned to painting with his searing Iraq War series and images of twenty first century icons such as Amy Winehouse. His work is in the collections of the Tate Modern, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
