Up for your consideration is an exceptional, highly compelling work of 20th-century American art: an original 2007 limited edition mixed media woven paper collage by listed Pennsylvania artist and sculptor, Herbert Simon.
Titled "Renoir Revisited I," this conceptually brilliant piece features a masterfully deconstructed and rewoven interpretation of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's famous 1883 Impressionist masterpiece, "Dance at Bougival." Simon seamlessly intersects strips of the classic fine art print with solid black geometric fields, creating a striking checkerboard grid that challenges and plays with visual perception, memory, and art history.
The piece is hand-signed and dated "HBSimon 2007" on the lower right border matting, with the handwritten title "Renoir Revisited I" on the left and the rare edition marking "1/5" in the center. The artwork also retains Simon's painted "HBS 2007" monogram on the lower left image field. From the Herbert Simon estate collection; pairs well with its companion piece, "Renoir Revisited II," also available.
About The Herbert Simon Studio Archive: This piece belongs to an exclusive, single-provenance acquisition sourced directly from the private estate and studio archive of celebrated American sculptor and university professor Herbert Simon (1927–2017). A student of abstract expressionist titans Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, and Philip Guston, Simon served as a professor at Wilkes University for over 20 years, where his work bridged the gap between the New York School and academic structuralism. His monumental public commissions are permanently installed at major regional landmarks, including the 'Facets' aluminum installation at Wilkes University, the 'Aloft' sculpture at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, and civic plazas across Pennsylvania. Spanning over fifty years of creative evolution, this collection represents a rare opportunity to acquire investment-grade art with institutional provenance.
