Old Coins, 1950 (print)
This series of watercolor paintings is an homage to industrial designer Freda Diamond’s trailblazing accomplishments working for Libbey Glass in the twentieth century.
Once mass produced and sold in groupings of 8 for $1.50, the “Hostess sets” Diamond popularized have become sought after commodities sold as incomplete sets on resale websites for 120x+ their original sales price. The removal of these functional objects from their intended use calls into question planned obsolesce. Painting from found photography I edited, these paintings layer pattern and shadow, combining realism and abstraction within a single work.
8”x10” open edition print on Heavy Card Stock Satin paper.
Prints are sold unframed.
