Steve Wheeler (American, 1912 - 1992). "On a Chilly Knight". Original color silkscreen. 1947. Signed "Wheeler" in pencil, lower right. Annotated "T/P" in pencil, lower left. A trial proof aside from an unknown edition. Printed to the edge of the sheet on cream wove paper. Fine impression, with heavy ink application. Fine condition. Wheeler is often spoken of as one of the least appreciated, but most deserving, of 20th Century American artists. His work is increasingly being "discovered," as evidenced by the sale of his painting "Un Titled, W22 (Man Looking at Pork Chop)" at Christie's New York, 05/21/2008, lot #8, at $109,000. There has been recent increasing interest in his fine prints as well. Overall size: 8 15/16 x 12 1/16 in. (227 x 306 mm). Image size: 8 15/16 x 12 1/6 in. (227 x 309 mm).
