R. CRUMB: "ZAP" SERIGRAPH
(1993). This is only the second
fine art serigraph in a series Signed & Numbered by legendary
underground cartoonist Robert Crumb. (The first was the 15-panel "Short History
of America" serigraph available in this store.) This fourteen
color hand-pulled silkscreen is from Zap
#1, the 25¢ underground comic book that started the "comix"
revolution! (They were hand-sold by Crumb and his first wife
Dana out of a baby carriage in the Haight-Ashbury district of
San Francisco during the 1967 Summer of Love). The cover of that
original low-budget underground comic was only three colors:
black, blue and orange.
This is the first time Crumb's classic
cover appears in true color. Published by Kitchen Sink
Press on heavy acid-free deckle-edge archival paper in
May 1993 in an edition of 250 (@ the $250 original price)
and now long out-of-print. Crumb's following is currently well
beyond comics fandom. His last N.Y.C. gallery show sold out quickly,
with gravy and wine-stained placemat drawings selling
for $3,000 to $5,000 each! A Crumb drawing recently graced the
cover of Art Forum (the first time for a "cartoonist")
and art museums in America and Europe are buying his pieces for
their permanent collections.
Crumb has been called everything from the
Daumier of his generation to "the Breughel
of the 20th Century" (Time art critic Robert Hughes).
If you've read this far you probably already know all this. The
Zap serigraph measures 22 inches x 29 inches. Shrink-wrapped
against heavy board and shipped flat between layers of protective
cardboard. $1,500.00
