About the Item
This mezzotint from 1984 is an excellent example of this difficult medium. Signed, titled and numbered, from the edition of 75.
Wax is recognized as a master of the mezzotint technique. Her book, The Mezzotint: History and Technique, published by Abrams in 1990, has become the definitive work on this difficult medium.
Her prints are in the permanent collections of the National Museum of American Art / Smithsonian Institution, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the New Orleans Museum of Art, Museo Instituto Artes Graficas in Mexico and many other museum and corporate collections.
Carol Wax
Carol Wax originally trained to be a classical musician at the Manhattan School of Music but fell in love with printmaking. Soon after she began engraving mezzotints she was asked by the renowned print dealer Sylvan Cole to exhibit at Associated American Artists Gallery, launching her career as a professional artist/printmaker. With the publication of her book, The Mezzotint: History and Technique, published by Abrams, 1990 and 1996, Carol added author and teacher to her credits. In the ensuing years she has expanded her repertoire of mediums beyond printmaking into other works on paper and painting. Recognition of Carol's art includes an Individual Support Grant from the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation, Inc., two Artist Fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, a Concordia Career Advancement Award from NYFA, The Louise Nevelson Award for Excellence in Printmaking from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and residences at The MacDowell Colony and Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation's Space Program. A selection of the many collections that own her prints are The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The New York and Boston Public Libraries, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Library of Congress, and The National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
