About the Work
Karen Lederer creates intimate and eclectic still lives inspired by contemporary vernacular imagery. In Lederer's contemporary riff on the classic still life, her compositions revere symbols of relevant consumer goods like cans of La Croix, Adidas slides, and branded water bottles, as well as iconic references to her New York City upbringing that range from Picasso's Sylvette to deli coffee cups. Her scenes are peppered with vibrant floral patterns reminiscent of Marimekko, which bring a graphic sensibility to the work. Lederer's The Bathers is candid yet composed, a clever reference to the 21st century fascination with recording everyday moments.

All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.
MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board. Some of our work (typically those pieces with a deckled edge) is floated on the matboard with spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing.
