Description

Untitled from The New York Collection for Stockholm

By Keith Sonnier

This screenprint 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

Keith Sonnier

Born in 1941 in Louisiana, Keith Sonnier graduated from the University of Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette in 1963 with a Bachelor of Arts, and he received a Master of Fine Arts from Rutgers University (New Jersey) in 1966.
In the 1960s, he was inspired by artists such as Richard Serra and Eva Hesse and their ways of conceiving sculpture, and he took inspiration from Minimalism to create assemblages placed on the ground or fixed to the wall by employing various industrial materials such as metal, rubber foam, glass, cloth as well as salvage objects.
