Clayton Pond. "Dirt Bike Motocross". Clayton Pond (b. 1941) was among the first artists to employ silkscreen printing in a fresh, distinctly personal way. His limited edition silkscreen prints are immediately recognizable for their bright, cheerful colors with a shine as if the inks were still wet. But what is truly impressive is the high number of colored inks used some having up to twenty separate layers.
From the artist about this print: "Dirt Bike Motocross" shows the sport of dirt bike racing with trail bikes. The image came from a race the artist attended in California. One of the points of interest is the treatment of the background. The main action is in the foreground. In contrast, the artist uses line work and a more limited color palette to create another scene that dissolves into the background, becoming a visual pattern that sets up an optical vibration.
"Dirt Bike Motocross", from 1979 and in 13 colors, is 30 x 40", signed and titled by Clayton Pond, Printers Proof (of 5 PP made). Part of the American Leisure-time Obsessions Series. Estimated Value $500 - 900

But what is truly impressive is the high number of colored inks used some having up to twenty separate layers.
From the artist about this print: This iconic image, "Dune Buggy", portrays a lifestyle the artist witnessed while in New Mexico. Dune buggies were stripped down Volkswagens created for driving around the dunes in the desert or on a beach. In this image the artist has created a composition within a composition. The main compositional structure is formed by the rear view of the dune buggy’s broad, squatting body and oversized tires, framing a secondary composition of the suspension and the engine.

But what is truly impressive is the high number of colored inks used some having up to twenty separate layers.
From the artist about this print: "End of the Trail" is one of two motorcycle images done from a Motocross event the artist attended in southern California. The title and the pose of the rider are a reference to the artist James Earle Fraser’s sculpture of the same name showing a native American Indian on his horse. Pond’s view is of the new American West in an homage to Fraser’s original image of the Old West.

From the artist about this print: "Formula 5000" was an image created from the artist’s experiences at Riverside Raceway in Southern California and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The car’s number "76" was a reference to the American Bicentennial year. Sitting in one of the Indianapolis cars led to the artist fantasizing himself as the driver and owner of the car imagined in the print.

Clayton Pond. "Motter Printing Press". Clayton Pond (b. 1941) was among the first artists to employ silkscreen printing in a fresh, distinctly personal way. His limited edition silkscreen prints are immediately recognizable for their bright, cheerful colors with a shine as if the inks were still wet. But what is truly impressive is the high number of colored inks used some having up to twenty separate layers.
From the artist about this print: In 1988 the artist was commissioned by the Motter Printing Press Company to create a 9 x 11' painted construction sculpture, and a serigraph print edition for the company’s 35th anniversary. The print image is a two-dimensional adaptation of the large painted sculpture. The multi-colored web and rollers of the flexographic press in the central part of the painting contrast with the simpler treatment of the electronics and gears in the side panels. In addition to his unique use of color, the artist’s fascination with the inner workings and details of the machinery is evident here. Also apparent is the fun he has with details like the dizzying diamond pattern on the steel foot plate that runs across the bottom of the press.
"Motter Printing Press", from 1988 and in 23 colors, is 30 x 40", signed and titled by Clayton Pond, Printers Proof (of 5 PP made). Estimated Value $500 - 900

Clayton Pond. "Set of Chairs" Suite and Colophons Page. Clayton Pond (b. 1941) was among the first artists to employ silkscreen printing in a fresh, distinctly personal way. His limited edition silkscreen prints are immediately recognizable for their bright, cheerful colors with a shine as if the inks were still wet. But what is truly impressive is the high number of colored inks used some having up to twenty separate layers.
This colophons page for the "Set of Chairs" suite was written in the artist’s own hand and silkscreen printed. A copy was included with each set of six prints. It describes in detail how the artist revisited his classic chair image from 1966, and used it as the basis of an in-depth study of color relationships.
From the artist’s comments in the colophon page: "Each of the Chair prints in this suite contain five color elements. The relationship of the two predominant colors, one relatively warm in feeling and the other cool, generate visual tension by flipping the space between the psychological positive and negative areas. The other chromatic innuendos in each image act primarily as accents to clarify the basic encounter and, or, to increase the visual energy by exciting optical vibration. Through studied selection and juxtaposition of the colors, each chair develops unique energy characteristics and acquires its own personality. Together they make music!"
