Untitled from The New York Collection for Stockholm

By John Chamberlain

This lithograph on paper was created as part of the iconic New York Collection for Stockholm portfolio, a collection of 30 prints designed to be sold in an edition of 300, with each artist donating their prints. Experiments in Art and Technology in New York arranged the portfolio of prints to be sold to raise money for the collection at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, a European museum that celebrated American artists.

 

Today, important museums around the world hold the Stockholm portfolio including the MET and MoMA in New York, the Georgia Museum of Art, the Chazen Museum of Art and the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, along with many others.

The Artist

John Chamberlain

John Chamberlain, a wholly American artist, channelled the postwar era’s revolutionary energy into a relentlessly inventive body of work that spanned six decades. He first became well-known for his sculptures built from vehicle components in the late 1950s and early 1960s. These ground-breaking pieces successfully translated the expressive intensity of Abstract Expressionist painting into three dimensions. In addition to bridging the gap between Process Art and Minimalism, Chamberlain’s works of twisted, crushed, and forged metal, which ranged in size from miniature to enormous, also brought the principles of both movements closer together. His groundbreaking pieces made him one of the first American artists to recognise colour as an essential element of abstract sculpture. From the late 1960s to the end of his life, Chamberlain used a staggering variety of mediums to express himself, ranging from foam, aluminium foil, and paper bags to Plexiglas, resin, and paint.
