Lot Details

pastel & graphite on paper, signed & dated '77. 440 x 590mm possibly from the series 'My Journey Across the Styx', discussed by Ian Wedde in Art New Zealand 33, who wrote "My Journey Across the Styx (the title has a characteristically droll undertone) was a series done from '77 to '81. Franken imagined the ferryman Charon as a skeleton with a cape. Then he saw himself as a skeleton in a cape of flesh, his life as a journey in which he rows himself across the Styx, encountering demons and gods who are only present because he's perceiving them."
