JACKSON POLLOCK
Plowing.

Lithograph on smooth, cream wove paper, circa 1934-35. 200x290 mm; 8x11 1/2 inches, full margins. A superb impression of this extremely scarce, early print.

According to Theodore Wahl, the New York lithographer with whom Pollock collaborated on printing these early lithographs, they were pulled in very small editions, generally only 2 or 3 prints.

We have not found another impression at auction in the past 20 years. O'Connor/Thaw 1057.
