MILTON AVERY
Fish.

Woodcut printed in green on cream Japan paper, 2 impressions printed one adjoining the other on a single sheet, with hand colored additions in yellowish green gouache, 1952. 120x225 mm; 4 3/4x9 inches, full margins. Artist's proof, likely a unique impression printed in this manner, aside from the edition of 100. Signed, dated and inscribed "a/p" in pencil, lower margin. A superb, richly-inked impression.

Avery (1885-1965) printed from the same wood block twice on this sheet, inverting the image and joining the two impressions along the horizontal axis, to create this likely unique impression. Lunn 41.
