Frederick MershimerSanctuary (St. Anthony's Garden at rear of St. Louis Cathedral on Royal Street)
About the Item
This French Quarter garden is a serene haven with a lighted statue of Christ that exists not very far from the raucous revelry of New Orleans' Bourbon Street. William Faulkner lived and wrote "Soldier's Pay", his first novel in 624 St. Peter St on the right of St. Anthony's Garden. Tennessee Williams lived at 710 Orleans where he wrote "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Camino Real". Williams saw this exact view from his second story balcony at this address. "Sanctuary" is part of the collection of Georgetown University and was illustrated in the tome, "Printmaking in New Orleans" published by The Historic New Orleans Collection. It is #59 in the Retif and Salzer catalogue raisonne.

Frederick Mershimer
Frederick Mershimer received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, where he majored in painting and drawing. After moving to New York in 1983, he studied printmaking at the New School, Pratt Graphics Center (1984–87) and Manhattan Graphics Center (1988–92). Mershimer was initially drawn to the mezzotint process because it echoed his approach to drawing. In 2007, Stone and Press published a catalog raisonné of his work, titled Frederick Mershimer Mezzotints 1984–2006. Mershimer’s works are included in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the Cleveland Museum, the Corcoran Museum, the Fogg Art Museum, Georgetown University, Library of Congress, the McNay Art Museum, New Orleans Museum of Art, National Museum of American Art and the Whitney Museum.
