Lot description

Carl Beam, an influential contemporary Indigenous artist, is celebrated for blending photographic imagery with symbolic and abstract forms to explore themes of history, identity, and cultural memory. This signed limited edition lithograph on paper, titled Reserve 1, exemplifies Beam's striking visual language, juxtaposing a faint human figure, a handprint, and bold stenciled text. The work embodies Beam's unique approach to layering cultural narratives and challenging historical perspectives. His art often addresses the complexities of Indigenous experience in North America, situating this piece as both a personal and universal statement. Numbered 180/300 and signed lower right. Artist: Carl Beam (Canadian 1943-2005) Issued: c. 1990 Dimensions: 12"L x 16"H Edition Number: 180 of 300 Country of Origin: Canada
