WALT KUHN [1877-1949]. American painter. An ORIGINAL etching plate of a female nude, identified as NUDE WITH LONG HAIR. An example of this print was included in the 1967 Kennedy Galleries exhibition of Walt Kuhn prints and was indicated that there were only from 1 to 6 prints ever pulled from this plate. Typical Kuhn style. Plate size 5-1/2 x 3-1/2 in. Very seldom does an original etching plate by an important artist ever reach the open market as they usually are in institutional collections. Provenance: Kuhn Estate. It is difficult to get a good scan of this and the picture showing here isn't very good. He did not etch his initials or signature into the plate, which was his normal practice. I don't think he ever etched his signature into any of his plates although he sometimes would etch initials, this was seldom. This is guaranteed to be an authentic Walt Kuhn plate without a time limit to the original purchaser. We will send a letter of guarantee and provenance to the buyer.Picture of Kuhn is NOT included here.
