MILTON AVERY Silly Hen.
Woodcut on Japan paper, 1953. 63x146 mm; 2 1/2x5 3/4 inches, full margins. One of only several artist's proofs (according to Lunn, only several proofs were pulled, the block was lost and there was no published edition). Signed and inscribed "A/P" in pencil, lower margin. A superb impression of this extremely scarce woodcut.
We have not found another impression at auction in the past 30 years. Lunn 52.
