Claes Oldenburg framed drawing on mat board picturing a woman hanging from a wire or rope, held up by a pulley. The Hanging Woman is a recurring motif in Oldenburg’s work, with sculptural representations such as Street Chick (Hanging), 1960, and in print as in his 1976 series of erotic etchings. This drawing is sketched confidently in marker, scribbles encircling the woman’s inverted body. Her eyes are two starry asterisks rendering her face an expressionless mask. This drawing is signed by the artist with initials, lower right in marker.
Silver gilt frame 50 x 37
Condition: significant aging of mat board’s tone, numerous creases and discolorations as photographed.
