ARSHILE GORKY
Painter and Model.

Lithograph, 1931. 286x250 mm; 111/4x97/8 inches, wide (full ?) margins. Signed, dated and numbered 26/26 in pencil, lower margin. Well repaired tear lower right, through the chair leg and square form in the image. A superb, richly-inked impression of this extremely scarce print.

One of only 4 known prints by Gorky. A lithograph, Painter and Model (The Creation Chamber), 1931, and a drypoint, Young Woman, 1928, are in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC. We have found only 2 other impressions at auction in the past 20 years. Conway 2.
