Catalogue Note
These rare and beautiful etchings were printed at Pratt Graphic Art Center in New York under the supervision of artist and printmaker Nono Reinhold. She began her studies at Pratt in 1961 after working in Paris at Atelier 17 during the 1950s under master printer Stanley William Hayter and the richly inked nature of these plates reflect his influence. In addition to her collaborations with such celebrated artists, Rheinhold was married to Edy deWilde, the director of the Stedelijk Museum from 1963-65.
