Rare Limited Edition Artworks by Louis Icart, Julian Opie, and Alex Katz Come to Sale with Dane Fine Art

French artist Louis Icart was known for his paintings, illustrations, and graphic works. Interested in fashion, Icart was greatly influenced by the French masters of the 18th and 19th centuries. An original oil and mixed media on board by the artist, titled Promenade en Barque, is a key highlight of the upcoming Dane Fine Art sale. The painting exemplifies his portrayal of women with sensual overtones. Master of the Art Deco movement, Icart often depicted stunning courtesans with passionate facial expressions. Julian Opie’s Carmen and Fabien is another exceptional artwork from the limited edition of 50. The archival museum board relief collage of standing couples is illustrated in a minimalistic manner with black lines, which are characteristic of Opie’s style. 

Alex Katz’s Ariel 1 is a striking silkscreen on Saunders Waterford fine art paper. Published by Lococo Fine Art, it is a rare artwork from a limited edition of 60. Regarded as a predecessor to Pop Art, the American figurative artist is celebrated for his paintings, prints and sculptures. His works are marked by unflinching straightforwardness and intense color scheme.
