APC ART is pleased to offer our global collector base this exceptional 2020 edition by one of contemporary art’s most promising emerging voices — Nick Smith’s “American Gothic.”
Released by Rhodes Editions during Smith’s seminal “Pioneers” exhibition, this edition is a meticulously crafted print that measures 70 × 84 cm (27 ½ × 33 ⅛ in) on luxurious Canson Rag Photographique 310 gsm. Each piece is hand-signed and numbered by the artist and embossed by the publisher, limited to an edition of only 150 — a rarity in today’s collector market.
“American Gothic” deconstructs Grant Wood’s iconic imagery into Nick Smith’s hallmark “analog pixel” lexicon — disciplined arrays of colour-chip grids that resolve into a recognizable composition from a distance yet reveal their formal abstraction up close. The added screenprint varnish enhances the optical depth and luminosity, creating an arresting interplay between digital motifs and traditional printmaking craft.
Nick Smith has rapidly emerged over the last decade as one of the most thoughtful and technically skilled artists of his generation — translating cultural icons through a lens of precise colour logic and formal clarity. “American Gothic” from the “Pioneers” portfolio represents a defining moment in his oeuvre, capturing both conceptual ambition and collector appeal at its height.
The work has been preserved flat to archival standards for over five years, ensuring its pristine condition. It is currently in hand in the United States and is available for immediate shipment worldwide.
APC ART is pleased to offer archival, museum-quality framing options; if you refer to the final image in this listing, you will see an example of another work from this very edition we framed for a client — a demonstration of the elevated presentation and archival protection we provide.
An absolutely stunning work and a blue-chip, investment-grade opportunity to acquire a key edition from one of the most compelling visual thinkers in contemporary art today.
