Andreas Bitesnich

Andreas Bitesnich; The Erotic Series

Austrian born Andreas Bitesnich is one of the most highly regarded contemporary photographers of our time. The self-taught, former retailer has opened up a world of intrigue with nude photography. Such mesmerizing nude photographs depict not only a sensual image of human form, but they also create a sense of transcendence by use of light and shadow. It is no secret that eroticism plays a key role in his photographs. And while this erogenous theme is consistent and very present, Andreas Bitesnich portrays it in a way that is not always crude, but rather quiet and even sweet.


Not all of his nudes are so naive, however. We are currently offering Adreas Bitesnich's Erotic series, which challenges the play-it-safers with bold model positions and light accents. Form is key here, and for a second, one may think that's all there is to the erotic photographs. But this is incorrect, for the elements of the photographs are precise. The setting, background imagery, and lighting play equally important roles. This, combined with the fleshy exposure of the muse culminates in one fantastic vision that is not easily forgotten.

Jean-Michel Basquiat Prints; The Complete Series

Jean-Michel Basquiat Prints; The Complete Series

Jean-Michel Basquiat was a young graffiti artist known in the 1970's and 1980's New York steet scene for his punk-inspired, collage imagery. Beginning his career by spray painting local Manhattan buildings, Basquiat became a prominent figure in art culture and immediately received nation-wide acclaim as a neo-expressionist artist. During his short life, he produced controversial paintings and prints that acknowledged topics of heritage and society, and was known for his use of scribbled pseudonyms. Entire portfolios are extremely rare to come by, as only a limited number of them were produced in his lifetime; and while his prints are normally sold as individuals, we have acquired complete estate portfolios that are in pristine condition. Such desirable works as Cabeza, Charles the First, and Ernok, are just a few of the pieces that have become available.


In these paintings Basquiat challenges ideas of race in addition to making references to his intrapersonal relationships. This often appears as chaotic "doodles" of words and outlines of images. The troubled young artist's works remain some of the most remembered graffiti pieces of our time.
