FILEUSE from Earth School Portfolio, 2005

Digital Print on Card Stock (Signed/Numbered) - Unframed

24 × 18 in

61 × 45.7 cm

Edition of 25

This 2005 print, titled "Fileuse" - French for "The Weaver", was created by artist Tom Burkhardt in a very limited edition of only 25 for the little publicized gem "Earth School Portfolio", in a linen covered portfolio box, which held a print by each of these ten artists: Tom Burckhardt, Kathy Butterly, Tony Fitzpatrick, Yun-Fei Ji, David Sandlin, Amy Sillman, Kiki Smith, Fred Tomaselli, Carnie Waldman and Sally Webster. These artists all donated their work to support the Earth School, an alternative public school in the East Village of New York City. We acquired the complete portfolio with all of the works. This print has excellent provenance, as it was part of the original portfolio, acquired from the Collection of Ashton Hawkins - former Executive Vice President of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It is in original condition, never framed - and this is the first time that it will be removed from the original portfolio box housing all of the works in the Earth School collection.
