On November 16, Bonhams hosts a tantalizing sale of prints and multiples, including impressions from the greatest 20th-century illusionist, M.C. Escher.
Known for his imaginative tessellations of birds, frogs, and lizards, and his impossible never-ending staircases and waterfalls, Dutch artist M.C. Escher (1898-1972) created some of the most popular images in modern art. The fascinating worlds Escher created in his drawings, lithographs, and woodcuts have proven to be timeless, appearing on the covers of albums and on the walls of countless teenagers’ bedrooms and college dormitories.
Bonhams is offering the chance to hang several of Escher’s originals in your home via its November 16 “Prints & Multiples” sale. Among the iconic images available are “Day and Night,” “Belvedere,” “Ascending and Descending,” and “Puddle.”
