This is really a great piece. One of two original Allen Barber works I acquired from a dealer from the Philadelphia area. For those not familiar with the artist, I have listed his biography below. This is a wonderful work dating from what I believe is the 1960s. You can definitely see the influence from his time with Stanley Hayter at Atelier 17. It seems that as he progressed in his artwork it became more figurative. This is a intaglio serigraph in a wonderful abstract style on black paper. Image measures 17 3/4 x 16 3/4 inches on a sheet that measures about 20 1/2 x 19 1/2 inches. Signed, titled and numbered in pencil below the image. Wonderful color and composition and the black paper makes for an even better contrast. Print is in good condition as it looks like it has been in the original frame since its creation. There are a couple blemishes to the surface that look like they are from the printing process. Original frame is complimentary and ready to hang. Frame measures 21 1/2 x 23 inches. If you collect or desire more of Barber's works, check my store for the other one I am offering.
For those not familiar with the artist, his biography from a website that deals in the artist's work reads: "Allen Barber literally saw the world differently. His perceptions of the world are just enough skewed from the predictable to catch us off-balance and disrupt our workaday version of life around us. The usual response to such a disruption is to laugh and that is what Barber’s paintings often make us do. But it’s an uneasy laughter because this man knew too much of the darker side of humanity and invested his art with humor over our folly. He cherished humanity as he saw it – ludicrous, tragic and marvelous – and he left us a unique record of his caring. Works by Allen Barber are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Philadelphia Museum, Yale University, The American Embassy in Lisbon, The Binational Center in Lima, Philadelphia Free Library, and The Patten Corporation."
