Large 80s Lacquered Box by Hollis Fingold, Checkerboard & Neon Pink, Signed USA
$900.00
Large Lacquered box handmade in the 1980s by Hollis Fingold at Radar Design in Denver, Colorado. Airbrushed paint on wood. Signed. Depth: 7", Width: 10", Height: 8".
The body of this box has an airbrushed black and white checkerboard pattern, evoking the iconic and bold design aesthetics of the radical 1980s. This motif is juxtaposed with vibrant neon pink accents on the lid and feet. Continuing the theme, the interior padding's fabric features an airbrushed checkerboard pattern in black on neon pink. The elongated lid adds an extra dimension to the design with its diagonal black airbrushed stripes over neon pink. These stripes give the entire piece a sense of movement, accentuated by dynamic waves of black splattered dots that scatter across the body, as if it has just leaped into a puddle of paint.
Shaped like alien pets, Hollis Fingold's boxes appear to hover on their four pointy legs, with lid handles resembling punk hairdos. They are sensuous yet dangerous creatures that one must adore to tame and open.
ABOUT HOLLIS FINGOLD: Born in 1944, Fingold's creative journey led her to Denver, Colorado, where she established her studio, Radar Design, in 1986. Her telephones, boxes, and furniture have graced television shows, movies, commercials, and celebrities' interiors, finding their way into department stores, art galleries, and museum stores worldwide, from China to Hollywood (including the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, Bloomingdale's, and Disney World).
In recognition of her remarkable contributions to the craft world, Fingold was listed in "Profiles: Who's Who in American Craft" in 1993.
"People always asked me what I would call my genre," Hollis Fingold
