JACKSON POLLOCK
Untitled.

Drypoint and engraving printed in dark, brownish-black on white wove paper, circa 1944. 300x250 mm; 12x10 inches, full margins. Third state (of 3). Numbered 31/50 in pencil, lower right. Printed by Emiliano Sorini, New York, with the blind stamp lower left, in 1967. Published by Lee Krasner Pollock, Estate of Jackson Pollock and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, with the Pollock blind stamp lower left. A very good impression of this extremely scarce, early print.

Only a few lifetime proofs of Pollock's etchings exist today. Most of his intaglio work was printed posthumously from plates found in the estate, which are now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. O'Connor/Thaw 1071.
