Ray Kaiser, (Seated Woman), for American Abstract Artists portfolio, 1937

Located in New York, NY

This print was made for the American Abstract Artists Portfolio, 1937. All the images were lithographs made on zinc plates.

The plan was to make an edition of 500 portfolios although it seems highly unlikely that this was accomplished. The Whitney Museum of American Art has a set. The dimensions, 12 x 9 1/4 inches, are for the sheet; this work signed and dated in the plate. Ray Kaiser...
