This original, one-of-a-kind, mid-century master silkscreen strike off, crafted by Vera Neumann in collaboration with designers and artists such as Perry Ellis and Walter Erhard, embodies a narrative-rich artwork. It transcends the traditional role of art as a mere wall decoration, serving as a foundational element for fashion designs, sportswear, housewares, and a plethora of other remarkable creations throughout Vera's illustrious career. Many of these strike offs bear the marks of Vera and her colleagues, evidencing the meticulous process of refining color and design. This piece poignantly narrates the journey of Vera's original artwork, from sketch to painting, from conceptual design to strike off, and finally to manufacturing. It stands as a testament to a bygone era in the fashion and design industry, preserving a historical technique that is nearly lost in contemporary practices.
This retro-inspired strike off features a bold pattern of large circles in shades of mustard yellow and taupe, set against a grid of squares. The earthy tones and simple geometry evoke the aesthetic of the 1970s, while the clean lines and repeating shapes offer a modern graphic appeal. The muted colors provide a sense of warmth and nostalgia, and the layout is reminiscent of classic tile work. The design is framed by a slender grey border, highlighting its mid-century modern charm. This piece would complement a space that appreciates vintage flair with a contemporary twist.
