About the Item

This piece titled "The Rape of Equality" is an original piece by Kathryn Polk and is made from stone and plate lithography. This piece measures 27.25"h x 22.25"w framed and is shipped in the pictured white frame. "I’ve been witness to a time when women did not have the power to make decisions regarding their own bodies. Fifty years ago, the Supreme Court issued a landmark 7–2 decision in Roe v. Wade, protecting a woman's constitutional right to choose. In 2022, the Supreme Court overruled Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson. Women’s rights are being CUT every day by individual conservative states and a conservative Supreme Court. Are we doomed to repeat the past? I refuse to go back. VOTE for people who stand up for a woman’s right to choose." "My lithographs are a collection of personal narratives referencing the past to the present. I consider myself a visual storyteller. I present the lives and perspectives of the women of my family (grandmothers, mother, sister, daughter, granddaughters, and self) in the context of the current state of the world. To do this, I have developed a personal iconography and visual lexicon." - Kathryn Polk

Scarce lithograph, from the Art Against AIDS Portfolio, signed/numbered 38/50
Located in New York, NY

William Steen 1949-2008 William Steen, artist, collector, curator, and mystic, died of pancreatic cancer on December 20 in New York, where he has lived since 2001. Long time framer at the Menil Collection, the soft-spoken Steen is remembered in Houston where he had his first exhibition of paintings in 1978 at the Roberto Molina Gallery. In 1984 Steen made his first of several trips to India, photographing thousands of Tibetan Buddhist ritual paintings. A champion of outsider art, in 2000 he tangled with the Houston Police over the grafitti mural he comissioned for the walls of the reclaimed Sterling Cleaners...
