About the Item
Rashid Johnson (b. 1977) explores elements of cultural identity through a wide range of media, with a focus on African American history.
Many of Johnson's works are poignant meditations on race and class. Johnson is known for using both abstraction and autobiographic elements in his work juxtaposed with aspects of science African American history.
The artist frequently introduces new techniques to his practice, whether at his own printmaking atelier or through frequent collaborations. He also makes his own tools to score, scrape, engrave, and brand his artwork.
Regardless of medium, Rashid Johnson's aesthetic is known for its repeated motifs: such as giant black forms, sometimes aggressive, sometimes gestural, that seem to devour their pictorial plain.
In this work, the artist uses a lithographic pencil to etch the word "RUN" across the surface of the page, going over each letter with a heavy hand. The simple text and intensity of its application create a sense of urgency and unease, prompting a visceral reaction from the viewer.
The ominous messaging (which can be read as both a warning or directive) speaks to the insidious consequences of institutional racism and the collective experience that young Black men encounter as a result.
This particular work is included in numerous museum collections such as the Whitney Museum (NYC) and the Cleveland Museum.
A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, his work can be found in museum collections around the world. In 2011, he was featured in the international pavilion at the Venice Biennale. He is also one of the youngest artists to have works pass the $1 million dollar mark at auction.

- Sky Figures, Etching, aquatint, and collage, USA, 1977, Signed by artistBy Louise NevelsonLocated in Toronto, OntarioCaviar20 is excited to be offering this evocative print by the inimitable Louise Nevelson - one of the most revered and unique sculptors of the 20th century. Nevelson is renowned for her mysterious and complex sculptures. She was also an active printmaker, experimenting with different techniques and approaches, and working with some of the best print-making studios in the United States. Nevelson, whether working in sculpture or in two dimensions has a strict palette; almost exclusively black. While there are works with elements in white, gold, or raw wood, Nevelson almost entirely avoids color. When Nevelson does use color it is used sparingly but to maximum effect. In this work, collage-like shapes in soft buttermilk and lime green amplify her signature central black form. Over the last few years, there has been tremendous momentum in both interest and appreciation of Nevelson's work. In May of 2021, a new auction record of $1.35 million was established for one of Nevelson's signature white construction sculptures...Category
