Description:

Plate 15 — Compression VI (2011) is a limited edition print from George Condo's celebrated Compressions series — one of the most critically acclaimed bodies of graphic work produced by an American artist in the 2010s. Condo's Compressions compress multiple faces, expressions, and psychological states into single heads that simultaneously occupy several emotional registers: the figures are comic and tragic, beautiful and monstrous, serene and deranged, rendered with a draftsmanship that moves fluently between old master portraiture, Cubist fragmentation, and the grotesque tradition of Goya and Daumier.

Condo — whose practice he describes as "Artificial Realism" — has spent four decades constructing a visual universe in which the psychological complexity of human experience is given form through faces that cannot be reduced to a single expression or a single identity. The Compressions extend this logic: multiple selves, multiple moods, multiple moments of a psyche compressed into a single image that rewards extended looking, each viewing revealing new relationships between the layered elements of the composition.

The Compressions portfolio brought Condo's graphic practice to international attention at a moment when his paintings were achieving significant results at auction and being acquired by major institutional collections including MoMA, the Pompidou, and the Tate. Plates from the portfolio are consistently sought after by collectors of contemporary American art and remain among the most collectible editions of their decade.
