New Print of 70's Pop Art Department Store Prop Print Liza Halston Era

New Print From 70's Pop Art Department Store Prop Print        $150.00



New print made from a vintage original drawing from the 1970's - this was a department store window display prop print. There were multiple prints made from the same sketch for a Liza tribute series of display window. The drawing was first created in pencil from a newspaper photo, then refined for simplicity. A drawing then was made in India Ink to be copied multiple times - leaving the lips blank & later painted in by hand on each one. The prints then were 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 (see pic). A red vinyl floor was added for a color blocking dynamic. At the time 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).



There will be multiples of this print for sale. It is not limited. It measures 27" H x 20" W.



Condition: This copy was made from the original 1977 black ink drawing. As such, there are a few tiny specs that remain on the original - though they are barely noticeable. This copy is made on heavy duty copy paper & then the lips were hand painted onto the copy. There are some very minor dents in the paper from transporting. Print in Very Good Condition as a reprint of a 1970's original. Please email with any questions in regard to condition before bidding.



Shipping: FedEx Ground Sample Rate Chicago - LA , Insurance & Handling $12.50 - yours could be more - or less - depending on location & final selling price. Print will be packaged flat with acid free paper & stiff cardboard inner liners, bubble and a stiff ULine outer cardboard customized box

Glad to combine shipping on items if possible!

Thanks for looking!
