JOHN SLOAN
Arch Conspirators.

Etching, 1917. 110x153 mm; 4 1/2x6 inches, full margins. Edition of 100. Signed, titled, and inscribed "100 proofs" in pencil, lower margin and signed by the printer Ernest Roth and inscribed "imp." in pencil, lower left. A very good impression with strong contrasts.

Artists celebrating on top of the Washington Square Arch for the establishment of the mock, bohemian "secession of Greenwich Village from the United States," including Marcel Duchamp (standing), the actor Charles Ellis (far left, seated), the poet Gertrude Drick (left-center) and Sloan (1871-1951) himself (at the far right, in profile with a pipe). Morse 183.
