JOHN SLOAN Sixth Avenue and Thirtieth Street.
Lithograph, 1908. 352x278 mm; 13 7/8x11 inches, full margins. Edition of approximately only 20. Signed, titled and inscribed "20 proofs" in pencil, lower margin. Printed by the artist and Meollmann, New York. A superb, richly-inked impression of this very scarce, early lithograph.
We have found only one other impression at auction in the past 30 years. Morse cites 10 impressions in public collections.
According to an entry in Sloan's diary, dated May 22, 1908, "Started a tissue drawing to put on stone. A girl of the streets starting out of 27th Street, early night, little girls looking at her. Grained up a stone and got it ready to trace a sketch." Morse 142.
