Steve Wheeler (American, 1912 - 1992). "Marine Garden". Original color silkscreen. 1947. Proposed edition of 513 (of which all were printed?). Printed on blue-colored hand-made paper, bottom edge deckled. Full margins. Fine impression, with heavy ink application. Fine condition. Wheeler is often spoken of as one of the least appreciated, but most deserving, of 20th Century American artists. His work is increasingly being "discovered," as evidenced by the sale of his painting "Un Titled, W22 (Man Looking at Pork Chop)" at Christie's New York, 05/21/2008, lot #8, at $109,000. There has been recent increasing interest in his fine prints as well. Overall size: 9 7/8 x 12 7/8 in. (251 x 327 mm). Image size: 9 1/8 x 12 1/8 in. (232 x 308 mm). [19903] |400| {R100}
