STUNNING PANORAMIC VERTICAL ORIGINAL BIOMORPHIC ABSTRACT PRINT
Artist: K. Maran
Title: “Ode”
Dated: 1986
Studio/Publisher: Art Press Inc.
Dimensions: 51” Height x 13” Width
Up for sale is a striking panoramic vertical abstract print by artist K. Maran, dated 1986 and produced on fine art paper associated with Art Press Inc.
Measuring approximately 51” x 13”, this exceptionally tall, narrow format makes a dramatic statement in an entryway, hallway, narrow accent wall, or modern interior. The composition features flowing biomorphic forms intersecting with geometric linear elements, rendered in a sophisticated palette of soft blues, seafoam greens, muted lavender, warm beige, and earthy brown tones.
The work has a distinctive late-20th-century modernist aesthetic, combining organic curves with architectural/grid-like divisions and layered translucent forms.
Authenticity, Signatures & Studio Markings:
• Artist Identification: The lower margin bears a handwritten pencil inscription appearing to read “K. Maran”, consistent with the artist attribution.
• Title & Date: The pencil notation appears to include “Ode” and ”’86”, indicating the title and 1986 date.
• Edition/Artist Notation: Additional faint pencil markings are present in the lower margin. Due to their age and faintness, they are photographed for examination rather than being over-interpreted.
• Official Studio Mark: The paper bears an embossed “ART PRESS” blindstamp in the margin, providing important evidence of its fine-art print/workshop production.
• Paper: Heavy, textured fine-art paper with visible deckled/irregular edges and substantial surface character.
Condition:
Vintage condition consistent with age and previous handling. The paper exhibits surface wear, discoloration, creasing, edge wear, and other signs of age. The embossed Art Press mark and handwritten pencil markings remain visible. Please examine all photographs carefully, as the photographs form an important part of the condition description.
A highly unusual large-format modern abstract work with an exceptionally narrow panoramic presentation. Its scale, vertical composition, handwritten artist notation, 1986 date, and ART PRESS blindstamp make it an interesting piece for collectors of modern printmaking, abstract art, and late-20th-century studio works.
Please note: Artist attribution and interpretation are based on the visible handwritten markings and physical characteristics of the work. The inscription is somewhat faint, and buyers should review the detailed photographs before purchasing.
