Dorothea Tanning - Galleria Iolas - Offset Lithograph 66.75" x 26.75"
Est: $125 - $250
"Galleria Iolas" by Dorothea Tanning, Unsigned Offset Lithograph. Paper size is 66.75 x 26.75 inches, with an image size of 66.75 x 26.75 inches. The Offset Lithograph is from an unknown edition size. and is not framed. The condition was rated B-: Good Condition, Signs of Handling and Age. Additional details: This is a very rare exhibition poster by Dorothea Tanning for the Galleria Iolas, where she showcased her paintings and sculptures. The poster consists of two pieces of paper taped together at the center, each measuring 34.5" tall by 26.75" wide. The design features abstract body forms beneath a door, with the names Tanning and Galleria Iolas prominently displayed. The body forms evoke a crowd rushing to see the exhibition, only to collapse as the door remains shut—a clever visual metaphor likely alluding to Tanning's popularity. Tanning, a leading figure in the surrealist movement, was also married to fellow surrealist Max Ernst, further highlighting her influence in the avant-garde art world.

Provenance Éditions Georges Visat, Paris. Phillips, London, sale of June 29, 1992, lot 100 (offered as part of a group lot with Première Audience). Acquired directly from the above sale. The Collection of Sidney Rothberg, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Lot Essay Dorothea Tanning, born in Galesburg, Illinois, was a pioneering American artist associated with Surrealism. After studying painting in Chicago, she relocated to New York in the 1930s, where she emerged as a prominent figure in avant-garde circles. Tanning's dreamlike and often unsettling works, including Birthday (1942, Philadelphia Museum of Art), earned her a reputation as a Surrealist par excellence, although she would often challenge the designation. She married painter Max Ernst in 1946, and, eventually, the couple settled in France, where Tanning continued to develop a unique style that commingled elements of abstraction with introspection. In the 1950s, Tanning evolved away from strictly Surrealist themes—a trend that would continue through the early 1970s, when the present and subsequent lots were executed. During this period, she produced a series of works that showcased her adeptness with various mediums, including painting, drawing, and collage, while demonstrating a predilection for exploring complex emotions through fragmented, distorted compositions. Together, Dans le Désordre and Première Audience are suggestive of a kind of psychological landscape—a site where Tanning could create, define, and redefine personal and existential narratives.
