David Gerstein’s Mixed Media Cutouts Lead Robinhood Auctions’ Upcoming Sale

Israeli artist David (Dudu) Gerstein is known for his painting, sculpture, draftsmanship and printmaking skills. A recipient of the Israel Museum Prize, he started exploring sculpture by cutting out the subjects of his paintings to eliminate the background. This enabled him to create freestanding cutout images without the conventional square frames. Following his experiments with cardboard and wood, Gerstein discovered laser-cutting technology. He began using aluminum and created single layer and subsequently multi-layered cutouts. The upcoming sale from Robinhood Auctions will feature some noteworthy mixed media cutouts in aluminum. One of them belongs to a limited edition of 150. Titled City Riders A, it measures 47 inches by 28 inches. He uses vibrant hues to portray everyday life activities such as walking and cycling.  

Another limited edition artwork in the catalog is Dmitri Annenkov’s Burning the Midnight Oil, a giclee on framed canvas board. Hand signed by the Russian artist, the painting exemplifies his keenness for captivating compositions with striking details. Sisters, an original serigraph on paper by Igor Semeko, is also notable. The Belarus-born artist is celebrated for the rich colors and textures of his works.
