<div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>Robert Longo’s <em>Barbara</em> and <em>Rafael</em> (1998) come from artist’s iconic <em>Men in the Cities</em> series, these works depict sharply dressed figures in contorted, suspended motion—at once elegant and tense. Originating from staged photographs of friends, Longo translated these dynamic poses into highly refined, stylized images that explore the psychological intensity of contemporary urban life. The pair are lithographs from an edition of 120, with 10 artist proofs and 18 additional proofs, and have not previously appeared at auction. Examples from the series are held in major public collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, and the Saint Louis Art Museum.</font></div> <div><font face=Lato size=3 color=black>Robert Longo’s <em>Barbara</em> and <em>Rafael</em> (1998) come from artist’s iconic <em>Men in the Cities</em> series, these works depict sharply dressed figures in contorted, suspended motion—at once elegant and tense.
