Lot description

A finely detailed and whimsically evocative still life etching by American printmaker Gerald Lubeck, titled Kitchen Stuff. Executed with an elegant combination of embossing and soft coloration, this print draws on nostalgic domestic themes, featuring the words THE WEARS JAR at the center of a stylized label design. The word SALT is embossed directly into the paper below the main motif, paired with the handwritten note kitchen stuff, lending the work a warm, humorous sensibility. Rendered in blue and sepia tones, the image includes a single, textured egg floating against an abstract embossed background, a nod to Lubeck's frequent use of negative space and tactile surfaces. Gerald Lubeck is known for his meticulous technique in intaglio and embossed printmaking. His work often draws from the simplicity of domestic life and natural forms, presented with clarity and textural richness. The piece is signed Gerald Lubeck 79 in graphite at the lower right with the title on lower left. Professionally matted and framed under glass. The reverse shows a clean black dust cover, gallery label, and intact hanging wire. Artist: Gerald Lubeck (American 1942-2019) Issued: 1979 Dimensions: 14"L x 22"H Country of Origin: USA
