As New/None As Issued. First Edition/First Printing. 1 pages. Rare Art Spiegelman and New Yorker Magazine collectible piece. A pristine copy of the "Ground Zero" 9/11 Memorial Art issued as a framed Limited Edition Print and signed by Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly.

An austerely elegant production by Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly: Art by Art Spiegelman. Full frame size is 22 X 27 inches. Adapted by Francoise Mouly The New Yorker Magazine's Art Director and Spiegelman's wife. Pristine-white borders. Plexiglas and black wood frame. Brown cardboard box. Without DJ as issued. Issued on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of 9/11 on September 11 2011. Presents in its collectible Limited Edition format Art Spiegelman's "Ground Zero". A Minimalist masterpiece: The single greatest work of art on 9/11 thus far. Spiegelman's somber "black-on-black" piece is simplicity itself: The Twin Towers can only be seen clearly against the light and at a certain angle. When the piece is viewed at eye level the towers are invisible which is of course Spiegelman's eloquent point: To remember is to mourn what has been taken away from us; to mourn is to remember that it is somehow still with us. The act of mourning and remembering art as elegy is the most difficult art of all. Aside from the fact that we are afraid to die we expect our artists and ourselves to be heroes rather than victims and so they and we fail miserably when the time comes to mourn. Yet elegy is the one necessary art all other art is superfluous. Because we're not very good at it elegy can easily descend into bathos and sentimentality. Despite the small consolation that 9/11's evil perpetrator is dead and gone remembering and "never forgetting" matter and always will. An absolute "must-have" piece for Art Spiegelman and 9/11 collectors. This is one of the framed Limited Edition Print and it is very discreetly and beautifully numbered and signed in pencil on recto by Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly. Instead of being glaringly prominent their signatures are visible only from a certain angle "black-on-black-on-black". This print is a great work of art. As far as we know this is the only copy of the Limited Edition available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Guggenheim Grant and the Pulitzer Prize in 1986 for "Maus". The greatest American graphic artist of our time. A fine collectible print. . The New Yorker Magazine hardcover

1969141375New York: Two Faces / New Yorker Films 1969. Vintage poster for the 1969 film an experimental mix of documentary and fiction. Poster designed by Robert Frank. <br/><br/>Director Robert Frank's first feature film in which he follows poet Peter Orlvosky and his mentally ill brother Julius as they move through the late 1960s Beat scene while Peter tries to care for his mostly catatonic brother. When Julius wanders off he is replaced in the film by actor Joseph Chaikin. The film examines the boundaries of reality and sanity and features the screenwriting debut of Sam Shepard and the first feature film appearance of Christopher Walken. <br/><br/>The film was restored and released by Steidl in 2007 along with a book publication outlining the film. From the Steidl book: "Frank's feature debut was first screened in 1968 at the Venice Film Festival. Everything which had defined Frank's art up to that point turns up in this film - the look at America 'from the outside' the poetic libertinage of the Beats the marginal in a central role. It celebrates the return of the poetic essay as assemblage the affirmation of the underground as a wild cinematic analysis in the form of a collage and skillfully weaves together opposites plays counterfeits against the authentic pornography against poetry acting against being Beat cynicism against hippie romanticism monochrome against colored. The story contains bizarre twists and turns and appears to be a rather artless-film-within-a-film being shown at a rundown movie theater."<br/><br/>26.75 x 20.75 inches. Near Fine.
