About the Item

Nora Speyer Untitled, from the Long Point Gallery Portfolio, 1988 Lithograph on paper with deckled edges Hand signed, numbered 22/30 and dated on lower front 22 × 15 inches Unframed Hand signed, numbered 22/30 and dated on lower front Publisher: Long Point Gallery, Inc., Provincetown, Massachusetts; Printer: Bruce Porter from Trestle Editions Limited, New York Rarely to market, this stunning 1988 woodcut was created by Nora Speyer as part of a portfolio produced for sale by Long Point Gallery, an artist's cooperative in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Superb provenance as it is was acquired from the original Long Point Portfolio. This will be the first time the work will be removed from the portfolio. It is hand signed and numbered from a very small edition of only 30; it is in fine condition, unframed and never framed, and housed in the original portfolio box, with the original colophon page, which also included works by 11 other artists. For reference and provenance we have included an image of the colophon page from the complete portfolio. About Nora Speyer: The most exciting place to me is where I can communicate with the greatest number of artists. I can't live without some artists around. I'm not saying artists are likable. They can be very objectionable, but they are still my world. Nora Speyer Born in Pittsburgh, Speyer enrolled at Temple University's Tyler School of Art when she was sixteen. It was there she became roommates with Lillian Lent and Doris Staffel. In 1943, Speyer married artist Sideo Fromboluti and the couple moved to New York, where they often saw Staffel and her husband, Rudolf. Speyer knew and exhibited with many of the Abstract Expressionists, yet her own work always veered more toward the representational -always drawn and painted from figures, still life, and landscape.
