"Mujer de Tasco" 1944, Lithograph. Edition: assumed 125-250. Signed in pencil, Arenal, lower right; titled, Mujer de Tasco, lower left margin. Image: 9 x 11 inches (228 x 279 mm). Sheet: 12 3/4 x 17 1/4 inches (323 x 438 mm). Excellent condition. Good margins, as issued. A fine impression on cream wove paper, printed by Associated American Artists. A former "print collector" has rubber stamped his name on the back of the sheet - small and does not effect the image. Tape remnants along the upper left and right sheet but well away from the plate mage. One small speck of foxing in the upper left. Considered by many to be one of Arenal's finest images. This print, by one of the founders of TGP (Taller de Grafica Popular), has become nearly iconic in the Mexican print world. The title can vary from Mujer de Taxco, Woman of Taxco, Taxco Woman, Woman's Head, etc., however, Mujer de Tasco is correct. $1450.00 |
