Mary Huntoon (1896-1970)

Approach aka Bridge Approach Topeka

1937

The sand ground dry point etching with alternate technique in the sky area is from an edition of only 100 prints and signed in pencil by Mary Huntoon lower right with title lower left.


The sky may have been achieved by the sand ground technique that Huntoon sometimes employed which creates an intaglio effect that lends tonal qualities not otherwise present with dry point, the result being akin to to that produced by the aquatint process.

This was a Federal Art Project Print.

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.
