NEW YORK – On Wednesday, March 15, beginning at 4 pm Eastern time, Jasper52 will present a sale titled DISCOVER the 70’s: Pop Art. Absentee and Internet live bidding will be available through LiveAuctioneers.

Featuring 99 lots, primarily of serigraphs and lithographs, the auction contains works by art-world superstars as well as less prominent names. The pieces on offer include a 1971 unsigned Robert Indiana LOVE-Stable serigraph, as well as a 1972 Indiana serigraph for a three-act opera on Lord Byron; several by Marc Chagall, including a 1974 lithograph with a Four Seasons theme; a Peter Blake Alice in Wonderland serigraph from 1970; works by Josef Albers, including the 1972 serigraph Articulation III; and a signed Larry Rivers lithograph from 1979, created to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Lincoln Center, which transforms the iconic building into a birthday cake.

Alex Katz, ‘William Dunas Dance, Pamela-American Dance Festival,’ signed lithograph, estimated at $2,100-$3,000

Also featured is Reflection, a curious signed 1971 serigraph by Will Barnet; an unsigned 1978 Walasse Ting serigraph of a nude reclining among flowers with a supremely self-satisfied look on her face; a cheerfully colorful untitled abstract serigraph Larry Zox made in 1971 to promote a Mostly Mozart festival; Katherine Porter’s Music, a signed serigraph created for the 1972 Newport Jazz Festival; Multi, a 1973 serigraph of a graphic for a community holiday festival, rendered in bold brush strokes by Friedel Dzubas; and Lowell Nesbitt’s strikingly well-observed rendition of a white poinsettia, as a 1978 serigraph.

First among the highlights is Contemporary Graphics from the Studio in Rome, an unsigned 1970 serigraph that has an estimate of $675-$975. It derives from a limited edition of 300, was printed on Fabriano paper, and has been assigned a condition rating of A-, or Near Mint, with what are described as “very light signs of handling.”
