Solid Reflections
LOUISE NEVELSON
American, (1899-1988)
Etching, engraving, aquatint and soft ground, 1953-55 , Baro 24, Pace 47; edition 20. 27 3/8 x 21 3/4 in. Signed, numbered and titled in pencil. This is a superb, rich impression printed on RIVES watermarked paper. The margins are full and the condition is excellent. This was one of about thirty etchings Nevelson did while working at Atelier 17 in New York between 1953-55. One a few proofs were printed at that time. The formal edition was printed at the Hollander Graphic workshop by Emiliano Sorini between 1965 and 1966 under the supervision of the artist. This impression is from this edition. The imagery here anticipates her growing interest in black sculpture.

Garden Flowers
MARGARET PATTERSON
American, (1867-1950)
Woodcut printed in colors, 1921, Bakker 90, intended edition of 100. 10 1/4 x 7 1/4 in. Signed in pencil in the lower right corner of the image. Signed, titled and numbered in pencil just below the image. This is a fine impression with fresh colors. The print is trimmed to the image by the artist as is so often the case with this print (and others). The condition is fine apart from traces of an old adhesive on the verso edges from an early mount. The intense work involved in rubbing the colors into the back of the sheet from the blocks is perfectly demonstrated here. The end result is almost sculptural. Due to the labor intensive nature of printing just one impression, and given the scarcity of her prints, we doubt that the full editions were ever printed.

View of the Swiss Alps near Davos
JAN WIEGERS
Dutch, (1893-1959)
Lithograph printed in colors, undated; possibly 1920s, edition unknown. 12 5/8 x 17 1/4 in. Signed in pencil. This is a fine impression of this rare print. The margins are full and the condition is fine. This outstanding print exemplifies the German artistic influence on Wiegers during the 1920s and beyond. He spent time in Davos, Switzerland in 1920-21 and his neighbor was Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. They worked together and became good friends. Wiegers would regularly travel to Switzerland to visit Kirchner up until his death in 1936. Wiegers's work flourished in this expressionist style and the movement became known as de Ploeg (the Plow). Other Dutch artists followed in this path including Jan Altink, Johan Dijkstra, Jan van der Zee among others. Wiegers's important connection to Kirchner is more fully discussed in the following publication, "Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Friends; Expressionism from the Swiss Alps," by Stutzer, Vitali, et al.(2007). This book accompanied an exhibition by this name in Germany and Holland. (See pages 228-254.) Provenance: German private collection.

Honorary Degree
GRANT WOOD
American, (1891-1942)
Lithograph, 1938, Johnson 5, Cole 4; edition 250. 11 7/8 x 6 15/16 in. Signed in pencil. Here we have a fine impression with full margins. The condition is excellent. This print was based on Wood receiving an honorary degree from Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin. He used two of his friends at the University as models. "The hood mimics the shape of the Gothic window in the background, recalling the symbolic window in American Gothic, perhaps implying that the public recognition--symbolized by the shower of light cascading down upon the recipient--has come from the fame of his iconic painting. Wood seems to literally be basking in the glory of the Gothic arch, his symbol for Regionalism and American Gothic, while the two professors bear looks of disdain upon their faces, a sharp contrast to Wood's almost cherubic gaze up towards them." (See page 72 of Grant Wood: The 19 Lithographs, A catalogue Raisonné by Bruce Johnson (2016).
