The screen print, published in an edition of 75, is priced at $3,600. It measures 18 by 35 inches.
Since 1975, when he arrived in New York, Mr. Sultan’s creative energy has manifested itself in a variety of media, including painting, prints, and sculpture. His extensive body of work has placed him at the forefront of contemporary art, where he is renowned for his ability to successfully merge artistic tradition with a modern approach.
Mr. Sultan’s work is in the collections of most major museums in the United States and abroad, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Australian National Gallery and the Tate Gallery, to name just a few.
Benefit Print Project was established in 2010 by Thomas Lollar, former director of visual arts at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and Paul Limperopulos, former curator in the List Print Program at Lincoln Center. Combining a consideration of aesthetics and innovative fund-raising, Benefit Print Project offers editions to raise money for nonprofit arts organizations.
