202: CHARLES BANKS WILSON (1918-2013) RARE 1940 LITHOGRAPH

Charles Banks Wilson (1918-2013)
Afternoon Dance (1940)
The rare early lithograph, numbered 2 from a very low edition of only 16 total prints pulled, is signed and dated by the artist in pencil below the image lower right and titled lower left.

This marks the first appearance of this rare lithograph at auction, according to records on all four major art auction record databases and the major online bidding platforms. Images like this that document authentic Native American traditions, ceremonies and culture, like this 1930s Powwow, are important and desirable. Charles Banks Wilson personally bore witness to the events he portrayed in art. Add to this the rarity of this low edition print and it confirms that this image is both rare and desirable.

This may be the only opportunity one has to obtain this important image in this condition.
Image measures 10.25 x 13.25, sheet is 15.75 x 19.25, and frame is 17.75 x 20.75 inches.
Very good condition, the full untrimmed sheet with deckle edges, not laid down, no damage, stain, punctures, tears or repair; framed to archival standards in acid free mounts.
$1,000 - $1,500
