- MARKUS PIERSON (AMERICAN B. 1961) A
MARKUS PIERSON (AMERICAN B. 1961) A SCULPTURE, "ON THE ...MARKUS PIERSON (American b. 1961) A SCULPTURE, "On the Road to Her," 1990, acrylic on wood sculpture, signed, dated and numbered on the base, "MP/ 204/350/ ©1990." Height: 31 1/2'' Width: 13'' Depth: 14'' Note: Markus Pierson was working as a bookkeeper when he suffered from a near-fatal bout of Crohn's Disease in 1985. While recovering in the hospital, "I told everyone I knew that the bookkeeper was dead after all - but in his place was a man who was going to become a successful artist. They thought I was nuts. I wasn't." Pierson began working hard as an artist and one of his first successful endeavors was the Coyote Series from which this piece comes. The works were inspired by the Joni Mitchell song "Coyote," about a "footloose Casanova type." When asked his favorite thing about coyotes Pierson said, "They celebrate life. Sometimes life kicks them around, but they embrace it just the same. Heartaches, bad breaks, job problems, job triumphs, true love, rotten luck, vast fortune. Good or bad, they celebrate."
Condition:
There is a repaired break in the moon piece and there is also some rubbing on it (some of the green paint of the cactus has rubbed off on it). There is a small bit of paint rubbed off on the front left edge. The flower is very delicate, but in tact. Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
