Vintage 70's Department Store Prop Print Mixed Media Sold
Vintage 70's department store window display prop print being sold in "As Is" condition. I created these multiple prints for a Liza tribute series of display windows for the now defunct Chicago furrier Evans. Liza was appearing at the Schubert theater in her musical play "Shine It On" which became "The Act" when it reached Broadway later that year (1977).
The drawing was first created in pencil from a newspaper photo. Then a drawing was made in India Ink to be copied multiple times - leaving the lips blank to be later painted in by hand on each one. The prints then would be mounted on foam board and stacked & repeated "Warhol" style on the back wall of each display window. The broader idea was to have a mannequin dressed to resemble Liza with other mannequins grouped around her as if they were trying to get her autograph. A red vinyl floor was added for a color blocking dynamic.
It was the 70's.
I recently came across three of the prints that had been stored away for decades. They all had condition issues. One has sold. The remaining two prints have condition issues as well.
With tape residue and a tear to the lower right corner, # 1 is in Good Vintage Condition with a usable area - that a good frame shop could carefully place a matte over to secure the piece - measuring 19" x 24" - entire piece is 21 1/2" x 24". All measurements are
approximate.
With a few tears to the sides and some fading marks in the hair, # 2 is in Good Vintage Condition with a somewhat larger usable are of 20 1/2" x 24". Entire piece is 21 1/2" x 24".
I retain the original and am considering having new prints made from it.
