Nicholas Krushenick-James Bond Meets Pussy Galore 1964
Nicholas Krushenick (American (1929-1999)
One of America's premier Pop artists, Nicholas Krushenick studied at New York's Art Students League and with the Abstract Expressionist painter, Hans Hoffman. His first one man exhibition was held at the Camino Gallery, New York, in 1957. The following year he co-founded the Brata Gallery which promoted his work as well as that of fellow artists such as Al Held and Yayoi Kusama.By 1962, Nicholas Krushenick began exhibiting his art in uptown galleries such as Pace and had become a leading artist of the Pop Art movement. At this time he began to experiment in the graphic media of both lithography and silkscreen and produced many famous works in these fields, such as, James Bond Meets Pussy Galore (1965). His art began to center upon simple abstract motifs whose shapes were outlined in heavy black lines. In this regard his original prints were often compared to those of Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol, but unlike these masters Krushenick avoided any imagery from commercial art. More than one critic termed the art of Krushenick as 'Abstract Pop'.Nicholas Krushenick was a visiting artist at many schools and universities. He also taught art at the University of Maryland from 1977 to 1991. Today his prints and paintings are included in such major collections as the Stedelijk, Amsterdam, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.

We offer the artist proof serigraph cover art by the artist Eduardo Garcia Benito for the July 1926 edition of the French Vogue magazine. It is marked "AP" in pencil in lower left corner.

Included in the additional photographs shown on our eBay listing, is an image of the original magazine cover posted on the internet by the artist's granddaughter and a partial lower image of the American version of the finished cover. The French version uses an orange colorway for the dress and lips while the American version uses a red colorway for the dress and lips. The most obvious variation is the way "VOGUE" is spelled out in stars at a diagonal while the finished version shows the magazine name horizontally across the upper page. Some variation to the ocean liner can also be observed. The background color is a dark blue but the glare of the glass does not photograph truly. The depth of background color can be seen in some of the additional closeup pictures.
