Charley Harper, considered to be a master of Mid-Century Modernism, lived from 1922 to 2007. Todd Oldham considered Harper to be a "great undersung artist, one of the top 10 Mid-Century designers".
Charley Harper handmade his original silkscreen prints, showing his unique style and humor.
I purchased these from the original owner nearly 20 years ago. Though I had bought them initially to sell, I fell in love with them and hung them up in my shop, marking them SOLD...to ME! They appear to be in their original stained wood frames and while the frames have some wear on them, the prints appear to be in very good condition.
These are from his fresh and saltwater fish collection. They date to the 1950s. Framed and matted, they measure about 23" by 19" each. The silk screen prints, not including the matting, are about 13" by 9" each.
Each one of these are signed by Charley Harper "C. Harper".
I kept these because I loved them and knew that they were special. I had no idea that they were by Charley Harper or that they had monetary value. I am only selling them because I am downsizing and in school.
The fish on the left is a Crappie. I am unsure of the other one and welcome any information you may care to share on these.
If you decide to purchase this pair, shipping will be determined based on your address. Buyer pays for professional packing, shipping and insurance by the UPS store. Once an address is provided, I will provide you with a shipping quote.
These sell unframed at galleries for $400 to $500 and more each.
These are NOT modern posters or reproductions. They are the real deal. This past summer, I began getting a bit curious about these and upon some research I discovered that days before, Charley Harper had died after fighting pneumonia. Charley Harper was a very special artist who will be remembered for his great talent, his whimisical nature, and for being a genuinely special individual from every account I could find. |
