Description: Signed 1970 ETCHING Owl Print, Listed WILLIAM A. KOLLIKER, 'LOST' Artist Proof Click images to enlarge Description VINTAGE ORIGINAL SIGNED ETCHING Striking original vintage 1970 artist's proof etching framed under glass - etching measures about 7" tall by 5" wide and frame measures 15-1/2" tall by 13-1/2" wide. Featuring a wonderful, stylized baby owl drawn in black and white against a vibrant purple shaded to teal blue background, proof has been signed in pencil "LOST" ARTIST PROOF" by KOLLIKER 70. William A. Kolliker (1905-1995) etchings have become quite collectible and many feature whimsical images such as this little owl - he appears to be soaking wet and quite pitiful as he stands in the rain. Complete with paper backing printed with information about the artist and his studio, and also marked as "artist proof 4" in the edition. Purchased in Las Cruces, New Mexico from an art gallery at the time of release, condition is very nice with minor wear to the etching, one pin point size foxing spot in the cream area and a bit of an irregular edge from hand trimming - etching has been protected in a frame since purchase. The frame is heavy carved wood with mottled gold muted paint accenting the edges -- back bears a white seal of ORIGINAL ETCHING BY KOLLIKER -- glass is non-reflective. The glass, etching, fitted cardboard and information sheet were simply taped into place when mounted - the tape was old, yellowed and dried out from age and the etching is no longer firmly set into the frame - printed information sheet has tape discoloration around the edges and a short tear, but the original Gallery label from which the image was purchased is still in place - just let me know if you would like me to permanently secure the etching within the frame prior to shipping. Just a wonderful, vintage signed original etching. Lovely addition to any home, collection or display! If questions, please contact me - thanks! Pictures sell!
