Portfolio of 25 lithographs // Lost Classics by Gary Simmons is a limited edition lithograph series created in 2012, consisting of 25 prints in an edition of just 15. Each square in this grid-like arrangement features a circular form resembling vinyl records, centered on a colored background that alternates between bold shades of red, blue, purple, and black. The blurred, almost ghostly imagery on each “record” evokes a sense of nostalgia, as if the images are fading memories or echoes of forgotten music. Simmons is known for exploring themes of erasure and cultural memory, and in Lost Classics, he taps into the transient nature of cultural artifacts. The distressed visuals hint at the passage of time and the loss inherent in the preservation of cultural history.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
