THOMAS HART BENTON
Ten Pound Hammer.

Lithograph, 1967. 351x252 mm; 13 7/8x10 inches, full margins. Edition of 300. Signed and titled in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression of this scarce lithograph, with strong contrasts.

While Fath cites an edition of 300, we have found only 11 other impressions at auction in the past 25 years, which indicates that the edition was likely significantly smaller. Fath 79.
