Erte (Romain De Tirtoff) Number "3" Signed Limited Edition Serigraph from 'The Numerals Suite'
This is a signed limited edition Serigraph on paper in MINT condition, and was hand-signed by Erte in 1976. This is the number "3" of 'The Numerals Series'. Coincidentally, this piece is of the number '3' and this serigraph is number 333 of 350 in the limited edition! I love the number 3 of the series the best because the black edge is made up of number 3's, all overlaying each other. For the other numbers it looks a little odd, but for the number 3 it looks like a doily! This same serigraph and others of the series are on display at the Tate Modern: http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/erte-number-three-p06118. The art itself is 25.5 x 18.75 inches, and including frame is approx 36 x 30 inches. Erte is a renowned artist auctioned at both Sotheby's and Christie's.
This piece has been appraised at $6,000.00 by USA Art Source (and the framing was another $1,000), and both the appraisal and certification will be sent to purchaser. This piece includes a chop mark from Circle Fine Arts. It has been certified as authentic by N. Isen in Philadelphia, PA. Item is located in New York City. Obviously, professional, museum-quality framing for this piece of fine art, including a fine art nameplate displaying the artist name.
Again, it has been both certified and appraised as in MINT condition.
About the artist (all info below from http://www.americanfineartgallery.com/artists/Erte/erte_bio.html):
Erte was born Romain de Tirtoff in St. Petersburg Russia in 1892. The only son of an admiral in the Imperial Fleet, he was raised amidst Russia's social elite. As a young boy, he was fascinated by the Persian miniatures he found in his father's library. These exotic, brightly patterned designs continued to be important to him and influenced the development of his style. He moved to Paris at the age of eighteen and took the name Erte, from the French pronunciation of his initials, R and T. In 1915, he began his long relationship with Harper's Bazaar, during which time he created over 240 covers for the magazine. His fashion designs also appeared in many other publications, making him one of the most widely recognized artists of the 1920s. He also designed costumes and sets for the theater. In 1976 the French government awarded Erte the title of Officer of Arts and Letters, and in 1982 the Medaille de Vermeil de la Ville de Paris was bestowed upon him.
Erte's work has exhibited in prominent museums around the world including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum in California, The Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, and more. Erte is credited as being the originator of the Art Deco Movement and is the style for which he is identified.
American Fine Art Editions, Inc. is proud to feature the original sculpture, paintings, and prints of this internationally acclaimed master of the Art Deco style…
