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 stunning strike off exudes a dynamic sense of motion through its swirling composition, where sharp segments of royal blue and bright orange fan out from a central point. The colors twist and turn with an illusion of centrifugal force, creating a mesmerizing vortex that captures the eye and draws it inward. The piece is framed by a delicate golden line, enhancing the warm vibrancy of the orange and complementing the cool depth of the blue. This artwork is a bold statement piece, filled with vitality and a sense of endless movement, perfect for enlivening a modern space with its vivid, arresting presence.
