Self Portrait
Woodcut, 1947, edition unknown. 9 1/2 x 8 1/16 in. Signed in the block. Signed and dated in pencil. This is a fine impression of this rare early work. The paper is a cream-colored Japan with full margins. The condition is excellent. The Cleveland Museum checklist of the early prints of Frasconio list this as from 1946. The print is dated 1947 and the letters "NY" appear cut into the block in the bottom. We know he moved from California to New York in 1947 and his first exhibition at Weyhe Gallery was in 1948. (Note: We are always interested in acquiring fine prints by Frasconi.)
