BROADWAY

1957

About the Item

Ross, John American, (1921-2017), BROADWAY, Color Woodcut, 1957, Ed. 9/10, signed, titled dated and numbered in pencil, on a cream japan paper. 15-1/8 x 19-1/8 inches (image), 18 1/4 x 23 3/8 inches (sheet). A fine impression with strong, fresh colors, but with thin spots and adhesive residue in the left and right margins, well away from the image, resulting from careless removal from an earlier mount. This is one of Ross's most effective and striking prints, presenting New York City at night, under a moon and clouds achieved from using a knothole and wood grain. A highlight of mid-Century Modernist printmaking. Rare.
