Jovan Obican Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1918 - d. 1986

Born in France to Yugoslavian parents, Jovan Obican spent years training in various media. Jovan Obican drawings were unquestionably technically masterful and nonetheless possessed a childlike whimsy. With bold outlines and bright colors, early paintings by Jovan Obican depicted the Yugoslavian people and folktales to which he felt bonded. Indeed, even after Obican emigrated to the United States in 1959, he maintained a studio in Croatia, formerly Yugoslavia.

The subjects of Jovan Obican's paintings turned to traditional Jewish ceremonies as he learned more about his history. He was a prolific and diverse artist, unwed to a particular form, and Jovan Obican created lithographs as well. This type of early mass reproduction suited Obican's style well, since they were primitive yet technical. Collectors will find lithographs for sale at auction indicative of this form and style.

  • Jovan Obican, Pair of Lithographs on Wove Paper, Signed & Numbered
    Dec. 11, 2025

    Jovan Obican, Pair of Lithographs on Wove Paper, Signed & Numbered

    Est: $50 - $200

    Offered here is a vibrant pair of whimsical serigraphs by the celebrated Croatian artist Jovan Obican, each signed, dated, and marked as Artist's Proofs from 1982. Known for his playful style and use of bold color, Obican's works blend folk-inspired fantasy with modernist technique, making his art instantly recognizable and highly collectible. The first composition depicts a bearded figure in a rainbow-striped hat, accompanied by two cheerful birds, intently working with a colorful printing machine. The second shows a lively figure operating a fantastical contraption, rendered with Obican's signature humor and folkloric flair. Both works exemplify the artist's joyful, narrative-driven imagery and richly textured application of color. Each print is inscribed "Artist's Proof, Edition 275" and hand-signed by Obican in graphite, dated 1982. As proofs, these impressions are rarer than the regular numbered edition, making them especially desirable to collectors. These artist's proofs capture Obican's enduring ability to transform everyday subjects into imaginative, theatrical tableaux alive with character and movement. They would make a spirited addition to any collection of 20th-century prints or folk-inspired modern art. Artist: Jovan Obican (Croatian French, 1918-1986) Issued: 1982 Dimensions: One measures 12.5"W x 16.25"H, the other measures 13.75"W x 19.25"H Edition Number: Artist Proof Edition of 275 Country of Origin: Croatia
