Lot Report

Provenance:

Estate of W.A. Ross MacFadden, Toronto, ON

Note:

Avian subjects were returned to time and again by the artist, each visitation enlivened by marvelous variation. Over time her representations became more amorphous and surreal, as here where the Talukara’s (young raven’s) body is dense with coloured line. The work is printed with exceptional talent by Timothy Ottochie.

CONDITION DETAILS

Slight staining along edge of inked area and bottom and right hand edge of paper. Inclusions inherent in paper, overall very good condition.

Please contact the specialist for further condition information.
