Description

Robert Cottingham

Don't Walk, 1985

Three Color Linoleum Cut on Paper

Pencil Signed, annotated TP and inscribed

Unique Trial Proof

Inscribed to Bryan Konefsky, longtime studio assistant and friend of the artist

Printed by Chip Elwell Fine Prints

This is a unique Trial Proof that Robert Cottingham inscribed, annotated and gifted to Bryan Konefsky, his longtime studio assistant in both Newtown, CT and Santa Fe New Mexico. Only one other example of this early print, exists and is in the collection of the Smithsonian. Due to the untimely death of printer Chip Elwell in October of 1986, only two proofs in the woodcut medium were pulled: the present work, which Cottingham gifted to his longtime studio assistant, and the one at the Smithsonian. Furthermore and in another interesting turn of events, Elwell's studio was burglarized shortly after his death and among the items stolen were the original wood blocks for DON'T WALK. This is an historic work; and the only one available on the market.
