Peter Max Prints

American, German, b. 1937

Born Peter Max Finkelstein in Berlin in 1937, psychedelic Pop art icon Peter Max spent the first part of his childhood in Shanghai after his parents emigrated from Germany to flee the Nazis. While there, Max developed his deep interest in American pop culture — namely comic books, jazz and cinema. Max’s paintings, graphic design, prints and illustrations, which were inspired by these interests, were also informed by his experience with synesthesia, a sensory condition that causes him to see music and hear color.

After relocating to Haifa, Israel, then Paris, where he spent a significant amount of time in sketching classes at the Louvre, a teenage Max and his family finally moved to the United States, settling in Brooklyn. Max enrolled in the Art Students League of New York in 1956, training under Frank J. Reilly, and then the School of Visual Arts. Throughout art school, Max focused on photorealism, but he found the style too restrictive. When he graduated and opened his graphic design studio with friends in 1962, he began experimenting with abstraction and color — just in time for the psychedelic era.

The technicolor works for which Max would become known are characterized by big and bold graphic qualities — not dissimilar to what you’d find in his beloved comic books. Some deeper themes emerged across his work too: Max spent a good portion of the 1960s and 1970s creating his signature cosmic style, inspired by his fascination with astronomy and Eastern philosophies.

For Max and his partners, the graphic design business was highly successful, with commissions rolling in from advertising agencies, magazines and even Hollywood in the form of movie posters. The artist was featured on the cover of Life in 1969, and by the 1970s, he was practically a household name.

Max's body of work extended into product design, including a line of clocks for General Electric, while his domination of the commercial art scene continued for decades. He was commissioned to paint a postage stamp honoring the World’s Fair of 1974 (Expo ‘74); a Statue of Liberty series in which some proceeds went on to fund the statue’s restoration; posters and other advertising materials for major events like the Super Bowl, the U.S. Open and the Grammys; a Dale Earnhardt race car; and even the hull of the Norwegian Breakaway cruise ship.

Commercial activities aside, Max has long been the subject of many museum exhibitions, from his first solo show in 1970, “The World of Peter Max,” at the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco to 2016's “Peter Max: 50 Years of Cosmic Dreaming” at the Tampa Museum of Art in Florida. Today, his work belongs to the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and other institutions.

Erté Signed Serigraph Florida Pearl Dress 1989 Wentworth Framed 298/300 Art Deco

Erté Signed Serigraph Florida Pearl Dress 1989 Wentworth Framed 298/300 Art Deco

By Erté

Located in St. Louis, MO

An authentic, hand-signed limited edition embossed serigraph titled "Florida (Pearl Dress)" by master Art Deco designer Erté (Romain de Tirtoff, 1892–1990), published in 1989 by Chalk & Vermilion / Seven Arts. Hard to photo, please excuse reflections. Part of Erté’s celebrated American Millionairesses Revisited series, this work is based on an original 1917 costume design created for the American Millionairess Revue at the Théâtre Fémina in Paris. The print features intricate blind embossing, shimmering gold foil stamping, and subtle pearlized texturing. Housed in its original custom Wentworth Gallery Art Deco frame featuring textured gold-leaf corner accents and multi-tiered matting that echoes the work's geometric backdrop. The artwork is safely preserved beneath plexiglass glazing that does not touch the paper, keeping the foil and blind embossing in pristine, untouched condition (minor internal friction rubs present on the brown matting from the glazing edge). Retains its original Wentworth Gallery inventory label on the reverse with matching pencil-numbered edition stock details." Edition & Markings: Edition Number: #298 / 300 (Arabic Edition) Signature: Hand-signed in pencil lower right by Erté Publisher: Seven Arts Ltd. / Chalk & Vermilion (1989) Provenance: Wentworth Gallery (retains original verso inventory label) Dimensions: Frame Size: 48 11/16" H × 41 1/8" W (123.7 cm × 104.5 cm) Visible Sight / Mat Opening: 36 5/16" H × 27 7/8" W (92.2 cm × 70.8 cm) Excellent vintage condition overall. The serigraph itself is crisp, clean, and untouched—the plexiglass glazing is set away from the paper surface with proper clearance, preserving the gold foil stamping, blind embossing, and pearl texturing in original, pristine shape. The brown matting shows minor internal rub marks along the edge from contact with the plexiglass interior, which is common for larger gallery frames of this age and does not affect the artwork itself. The custom Wentworth frame shows minor, normal age-appropriate surface wear along the outer edges, remaining sturdy, structurally sound, and display-ready.
