ATTLEBORO MUSEUM AUCTION

Museum Auction Presents Seldom Seen Worksof my Nave Folk art and Western themes.Fantasy Farm and Morning Sunshine

I am proud to announce that after being invited by the Attleboro Arts Museum in Massachusetts to

present two works in their 20th Benefit Auction, that my seldom seen drawing Fantasy Farm was sold

to a New England collector. Both the drawing and also a photograph are part of an ongoing series which

depict the Western Catskill mountains. As such they are western Americana in theme-which is a drastic

contrast to my last completed series of urban street photography. In fact, the image shownFollow

Massachusetts, and was part of their Auction Spotlight Exhibition which had an opening

reception October 14th. The museum also conducted a wine tasting of 100 varietals of wines on Oct.

"Fantasy Farm", Ink on Illustration Board, 20x30" Western Catskills

I have 2 con-current emphases in drawings; primarily working in Nave, primitive folk art pastels..

(for which the pre-cursor that launched me into that direction is this B&W large format

drawing). My secondary concentration is abstract pastels.

Fantasy Farm is an original Folk Art Drawing depicting the Western Catskill and Pocono

Mountains. It is ink on illustration board and is in a new frame made of black wood and a black mat

with white trim. The subject matter is composed of 15 different landscapes from these two primitive

mountain areas. Desirable for collectors of Western, Folk, Nave & Americana. It is signed, titled &

dated on verso of mount.

This fine antique picture has dimensions of 8 7/8 x 5 1/4 (Image area 5 1/8 x 2 5/8). The image

appears in an oval shape within a large cream colored card mount. The print appears to be an aged

albumen photograph as evidenced by prominent silvering within the darker areas of image at

hair, eyes, lips, chin, sleeves and lower sloping area of bodice. An attractive, confident Camden, NJ

woman posed standing with arms clasped behind her back. Possibly a seamstress or woman of some

independence. Recto of card in good condition with slight darker areas at upper right due to age.

The photograph studio is identifed on recto at bottom right in cursive style as Ganns & Co., 205

Federal St., Camden, NJ. *(Wavy lines of digital image below is not actual physical appearence-but

due to the scan). The image itself is in pristine condition. The board shows one area of foxing to

upper right and overall is in good to very good condition. On verso within the oval inlay are the

numbers 35703 written in pencil. Clean back surface.
