Standing Deer, Taos, 1982
restrike etching, edition of 250
embossed in paper lower left: JH Sharp

Sharp created a series of etchings on copper and steel plates, with plans to produce a total of 250 in each edition. During Sharp’s lifetime, only a small number of the 250 were pulled from the plates, leaving 227 to be produced posthumously. Fenn Galleries, SF, NM, completed the edition of 227 etchings in 1982. They were produced in conjunction with the Sharp retrospective in 1983 and publication of the Sharp biography, The Beat of the Drum and the Whoop of the Dance.
