Edition: Multilingual (English, French, German)

For this limited and numbered Art Edition of 75 copies, Schnabel has added an exhilarating new layer to one of his most monumental bodies of work, the Big Girl/Blind Girl series from 2001: transposing one of the paintings, Lemon Yellow, onto a triptych of skateboards. The surface of each work has been skated by professional skateboarder Eli Reed and Shooter Schnabel, then hand painted and signed by the artist. The monograph was created in close collaboration with the artist and shows his work in all media—paintings, sculptures, films.

Art Edition Blind Girl/Lemon Yellow, 2023 (No. 1–75),
with a set of three skateboards, printed and individually skated, then hand painted and signed by Julian Schnabel. It comes with a numbered copy of the Julian Schnabel monograph.

Also available: the Art Editions Blind Girl/Lido Blue, 2023 (No. 1–75); Blind Girl/Cadmium Red, 2023 (No. 1–75), and Blind Girl/Deep Cobalt Violet, 2023 (No. 1–75). The works are signed by Julian Schnabel.

The Art of Julian Schnabel

Julian Schnabel makes art out of life, finding his materials in the fabric of the everyday. He uses broken plates as an improbable picture ground; he paints on velvet, market stall covers, army tarps, kabuki theater backdrops, and boxing ring floors, found surfaces that lend their own rich history to the artist’s exploration. A figurehead for the return of painting after his overnight success with a first New York solo show in 1979, he has since worked in a wide variety of media: making sculptures that transpose his pictorial forms into space as raw, seemingly time-worn artifacts; directing award-winning movies that paint portraits of artists and other subtly heroic figures; and even building his own dream of a Venetian palace in New York.

“I want my life to be in my work, crushed into my painting like a pressed car. If it’s not, my work is just some stuff,” Schnabel has said, and this urgency permeates his œuvre, no matter what means or media the artist chooses.

The monograph was created in close collaboration with the artist and shows his work in all media – paintings, sculptures, films. Texts have been contributed by his friends and collaborators, including Laurie Anderson, Éric de Chassey, Bonnie Clearwater, Max Hollein, Donatien Grau and Daniel Kehlmann.

Every set of this 3-board limited and numbered Art Edition of Blind Girl/Lemon Yellow, 2023 (No. 1–75) is printed and individually skated by professional skateboarder Eli Reed and Shooter Schnabel, then hand painted and signed by Julian Schnabel. It comes with a numbered copy of the Julian Schnabel monograph.


Also available: the Art Editions Blind Girl/Lido Blue, 2023 (No. 1–75); Blind Girl/Cadmium Red, 2023 (No. 1–75), and Blind Girl/Deep Cobalt Violet, 2023 (No. 1–75). The works are signed by Julian Schnabel.
