Watercolors

“With the Watercolors Kiehholz contrived a system of currency, as he termed it, whereby the work was sold for the amount hand painted on the framed sheet of paper or bartered for the items small and large stenciled on the sheet. The Watercolors were a grand spoof on the value of the artist’s name in the marketplace; all the buyer actually received was a sheet of paper good for the amount or item Kienholz painted on it, simply because he and the artist agreed it should be so.”

Quote by Robert L. Pincus taken from “On a Scale that Competes with the World: the Art of Edward and Nancy Reddin Kienholz.” University of California Press, Berkeley, 1990, p. 56.

Please note: The trade watercolors depicted above are representative images only. The actual works available include the following, dated 1990: For $487, For $489, For $490, For $491, For $492, For $494, For $495, For $496, For $528, For $529, For $530, For $531, For $532, For $533, For $534, For $535, For $536, For $537, and For $538.

Mono-series, drawings and prototypes >>

"Each 'drawing' reflects upon one of the eight environments contained in the interior of the 'Merry-Go-World or Begat by Chance and the Wonder Horse Trigger'. These works are fully developed three-dimensional paintings made during the course of construction the tableaux, 'Merry-Go-World'. In response to an offer from Gemini G.E.L., the Kienholzes considered making and edition based on the carousel. However, sensing the complexity of such and undertaking in three dimensions, they declined the offer and instead made a series of unique pieces. The fabrication of these works was accomplished in their studios in Berlin and Idaho. The results are the 'mono-series', so named as they are not editions of identical works, of eight images which also relate to the interior of the 'Merry-Go-World'."

Quote by Peter Goulds, October 1992, taken from the Foreword from
"Ed and Nancy Reddin Kienholz, The Merry-Go-World or
Begat By Chance and The Wonder Horse Trigger."

L.A. Louver, Venice, CA, 1992, p. 3.
