About the Item
James Strombotne
Love, 1965
Lithograph with Deckled Edges
Hand signed, dated and annotated "Bon a Tirer" on the front; with publishers blind stamp
30 × 22 1/4 inches
Unframed
This is the very elusive and desirable James Strombotne lithograph, "LOVE", done at the Tamarind Institute in the mid-1960s. It is annotated Bon a Tirer print, which means "ready to print" - a unique example aside from the regular edition of an unknown quantity - because we have yet to see another example on the market. (We'd love to if you know of any others!) A Bon a Tirer print is the very first print ever done that an artist officially approves and signs - and hence is considered one of the most desirable, if not the most desirable from the edition. It is also a unique work in the edition - as there's only one "Bon a Tirer". Hand signed, titled, and dated by artist on the lower recto (front) and bears the printer's and publisher's blind stamp. Unframed and in fine condition. Provenance: Dr. Bernard " Bernie" Bleha, a master printer at Tamarind and co founder of Gemini G.E.L.
James Strombotne romantic visionary Strombotne, born in Watertown, South Dakota in 1934, was raised in Southern California.

His first one man show in Beverly Hills in 1958 was an instant success, and since then he has had over 70 solo shows, including four in New York and nine major retrospectives.

James Strombotne
Whether he’s depicting a rocky cliff amid a calm sea, a pop culture moment or a vase of daisies atop a kitchen table, artist James Strombotne creates subdued, stylized images that feature rich color pairings and brim with life.
Born in Watertown, South Dakota, Strombotne grew up in Southern California. In 1956, he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Pomona College. He then went on to earn his Master of Fine Arts from the Claremont Graduate School in 1959. He also received a fellowship from Pomona College to study abroad in Italy. In 1962, the Guggenheim Foundation awarded him a fellowship to continue his international studies in Rome.
Strombotne had his first solo show in 1956 at the Studio 44 gallery in San Francisco. Over the course of his career, he had more than 75 solo exhibitions and a dozen retrospectives across the United States.
In the 1970s, Strombotne began teaching art at the University of California in Riverside. He continued to paint and exhibit throughout his teaching years. He taught at the same school for 40 years until his retirement in 2005.
Strombotne’s work is held in many public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He lives in Orange County, California, where he keeps a studio and continues to create art.

- Large American Pop Art Color Abstract Lithograph "Black Tie" James RosenquistBy James RosenquistLocated in Surfside, FLBlack Tie, 1977 James Rosenquist, American, 1933–2017. Printed by Maurice Sanchez at Derrière L'Étoile Studios, Inc. Published by Sidney Singer Color lithograph on rolled white Arches Cover paper Blindstamp of a man in a hat, bottom right Hand signed in pencil. Dated 1977 lower right. Titled and numbered 76/100 lower left. Measures 73 1/2" x 37 James Rosenquist (November 29, 1933 – March 31, 2017) was an American artist and one of the proponents of the pop art movement. Drawing from his background working in sign painting, Rosenquist's pieces often explored the role of advertising and consumer culture in art and society, utilizing techniques he learned making commercial art to depict popular cultural icons and mundane everyday objects. While his works have often been compared to those from other key figures of the pop art movement, such as Andy Warhol, JIm Dine and Roy Lichtenstein, Rosenquist's pieces were unique in the way that they often employed elements of surrealism using fragments of advertisements and cultural imagery to emphasize the overwhelming nature of ads. He was a 2001 inductee into the Florida Artists Hall of Fame. Rosenquist was born on November 29, 1933, in Grand Forks, North Dakota, the only child of Louis and Ruth Rosenquist. His parents were amateur pilots of Swedish descent who moved from town to town to look for work, finally settling in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His mother, who was also a painter, encouraged her son to have an artistic interest. In junior high school, Rosenquist won a short-term scholarship to study at the Minneapolis School of Art and subsequently studied painting at the University of Minnesota from 1952 to 1954. In 1955, at the age of 21, he moved to New York City on scholarship to study at the Art Students League, studying under painters such as Edwin Dickinson and George Grosz. Talking about his experience at the Art Students League, Rosenquist said "I studied only with the abstract artists. They had commercial artists there teaching commercial work, I didn't bother with that. I was only interested in -- see, here's how it started. I was interested in learning how to paint the Sistine Chapel. It sounds ambitious, but I wanted to go to mural school". While studying in New York, Rosenquist took up a job as a chauffeur, before deciding to join the International...Category
