Two mixed media works framed together, each on handmade wove paper, the first, a cluster drawing, 6 3/4 x 10 3/8 inches, pencil signed and dated* (Ida Kohlmeyer, 1912-1997); the second, from the artist's cluster series, 8 1/4 x 10 1/2 inches, pencil signed and dated.* Both in very good condition. Sold framed, but can be removed from frame for shipping at the buyer's request. Both works were inspected and photographed out of the frame.

Provenance: Presumed by the consignor to have been acquired by his parents in New Orleans in the late 1970's or early 1980's, possibly from the artist or at a local gallery, when they attended Mardi Gras. Thence by descent.

Lot Note: These two works were professionally framed together by the consignor's family and, at the their request, are being sold together in their custom black and silver-gilt frame. Frame measures 27 1/4 x 21 1/4 inches.

Shipping Note: We strongly recommend removing frames from works on paper before shipping.
