An Authentic Pair of 1980s Postmodern Design History
Presenting an exceptional, collector-grade matched pair of original 1980s Postmodern geometric art prints by studio artist P. Turner. Distributed by Trans Designs (Woodstock, Georgia), this pristine set perfectly embodies the sharp architectural minimalism and vibrant contrast defining the legendary 1980s Memphis design movement. The compositions rely on sharp, intersecting white matrix lines to carve out bold fields of dark slate, deep black, and textured accents of pastel pink, teal, and dusty lavender.
Artist Documentation & Provenance
- Artist: P. Turner
- Signatures: Both pieces are hand-signed by the artist in pencil along the bottom margin.
- Limited Edition Status: Meticulously hand-numbered in pencil. Print one is cataloged as 80/500 (titled “Day”); print two is cataloged as 63/500 (titled “Night”).
- Provenance Verification: The reverse sides retain their complete, untouched archival identity. This includes the original Trans Designs factory geometric backings, quality inspection stickers, and original inventory codes (#084908).
Presentation & Professional Framing
The artwork is beautifully enhanced by an elevated custom display layout. Both prints feature a sophisticated double-matting treatment consisting of a crisp white inner core layered beneath an era-accurate pastel lavender mat board. The compositions are housed in matching solid wood frames finished in a striking glossy cobalt blue enamel lacquer.
- Dimensions:
- Frame Size: 11” x 9” x 0.75” each
- Visible Image Size: 5” x 7” each
Condition
Excellent vintage condition with robust color saturation and crisp, un-faded inks. The backing paper and manufacturing tags are phenomenally preserved. The blue lacquered frames exhibit minor surface scuffs and edge characteristics consistent with light age and shelf display. Ready for immediate display.
