He is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Philips Memorial Gallery in Washington and the Brooklyn Museum, to name only a few of the many institutions that feature his work.

John Costigan
A native of Providence, Rhode Island, John Costigan was a skilled landscape and figure painter who disdained portraits because "the subjects want flattering pictures." He was orphaned and raised in New York by his aunt and uncle, the parents of songwriter, George M. Cohan. Mainly self-taught, Costigan studied briefly at the Art Students League and worked as a lithographer of theater posters. From that job he learned the printing processes that he later used in his many etchings. He began making his name in the fine arts in 1920, and throughout the decade, reaped numerous important prizes for his oils, watercolors and prints. He served in the infantry in World War I and supported himself during the Depression with magazine illustration. For about a year during World War II, to remain financially solvent, he worked the night shift as a machine operator in a defense plant while continuing to paint and etch by day. In the late 1960s, he enjoyed a revival of interest in his fine arts talents when more than 50 pieces were borrowed from museums and private collections to be toured nationally in a Smithsonian-sponsored Costigan retrospective.

Lopokovana and Niginski in "Les Sylphides" Colored Drypoint Signed Troy Kinney
By Troy Kinney
Located in New York, NY
This refined etching and drypoint was realized by the esteemed American artist Troy Kinney in the United States circa 1920. The work features two dancing figures- a woman leaning against the male figure behind her, perhaps moments before being hurled into the air or spun in a graceful twirl. She dons a tutu and ballet slippers that are loosely and abstractly rendered against a white background. The gentleman sports a white shirt and black vest. Both of them have a shock of flaxen hair that offers a beautiful tonal complement to the textured muted jade background. With its refined color palate, clean modernist lines, and masterful handling of the medium, this piece would be a winning addition to any interior regardless of the style of interior. Given the artist's importance and placement within esteemed collections (private and institutional), this piece represents a winning acquisition for collectors of first rate modern art as well as exquisite objects. It comes presented in a custom gilded gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition.
Troy Sylvanus Kinney (December 1, 1871 – January 29, 1938) was an American artist, best known for his compelling works portraying dance performers, fanciful subjects, and classically styled nudes...
