VAT 1029 PIETRO PSAIER (ITALIAN, 1936-2004), CHARLIE PARKER, artist’s proof, signed, studio stamp lower right and stamped verso, framed. 68cm by 68cm Note: Pietro Psaier was an alleged Italian artist who produced Pop Art paintings and prints that mimicked and referenced those of AndyWarhol. It is important to note that there is very little biographical information on Psaier, outside of a 1963 press release. Many surmise that the identity of the artist was manufactured by nefarious art dealers, in order to boost the monetary value of inferior works. Born in 1936 near Rome, Italy, he spent a significant portion of his early adulthood designing cars for Enzo Ferrari. Moving to GreenwichVillage in the 1960s, the artist met AndyWarhol, with whom he struck up a friendship. Producing work in the 1970s on commission for various movie stars, the artist ran into financial trouble during the 1980s. In an effort to evade his debts, he purportedly fled to a rural part of Southeast Asia.A death certificate which surfaced in 2011, claims he died in Sri Lanka during the tsunami of December 26, 2004. £600.00-£800.00 1030 NIGEL ARTER,A SERIES OF THREE PENCIL SIGNED LIMITED EDITION ORIGINAL BLACK ANDWHITE PHOTOGRAPHS, each depicting female nudes in soft erotic poses, circa 1984, each numbered to mount 2/5, being from a very limited edition of five only, each approx. 25cm by 34cm, framed.
