EMERSON WOELFFER
Untitled.

Lithograph on heavy cream wove paper, 1951. 265x375 mm; 101/2x147/8 inches, full margins. Signed, dated and numbered 1/15 in pencil, lower margin. A superb impression of this scarce, Abstract Expressionist print.

Woelffer (1914-2003) was a leading California Abtract Expressionist painter-printmaker. He was active on the East Coast during the late 1940s and early 1950s, teaching at Black Mountain College, Asheville, North Carolina, and exhibiting in New York. Fellow Abstract Expressionist David Smith's style appears manifest in the current work by Woelffer.
