THOMAS HART BENTON
Ten Pound Hammer.

Lithograph, 1967. 350x250 mm; 13 3/4x9 3/4 inches, full margins. Edition of 300. Signed in pencil, lower right. A very good impression of this scarce lithograph with strong contrasts.

While Fath cites an edition of 300, we have found only 21 other impressions at auction in the past 30 years, indicating that the edition was likely significantly fewer. Fath 79.
