Trip To Town

The drypoint etching signed by Gene Kloss in pencil below the image lower right is identified as an Artist Proof print, and titled by her lower left. This image was pulled in an artist's proof edition of 0nly 25 prints before the plate was destroyed. Only one other example is on record as having appeared at auction.

Plate size 12 x 9, sheet measures 17.75 x 13, frame measures 20.5 x 17.25 inches.

Provenance: Purchased from Jack and Georgia Olson who operated American Legacy Gallery and, in the 1980s, purchased prints directly from Gene Kloss in Santa Fe.

AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.

Without proof of exemption, be aware that internet sales tax applies to all Internet transactions and local sales tax may apply to local pick-up transactions.

We happily provide seamless in-house packing and shipping services on nearly everything we sell.

Until further notice, we cannot offer international shipping in-house.

Very good condition, the full untrimmed sheet with wide lower margin, not laid down, no damage, stain, puncture or repair, noting a very pale outline surrounding the image as shown here outside the frame and mat.
