Charles Frace (1926-2005) Lim. Ed. Pronghorn Print
Est: $200 - $400
Featured in this lot is this framed, limited edition print of a pronghorn done by renowned artist Charles Frace (1926-2005) titled, "Pronghorn Plate IV" circa late 1900s. Charles Frace was born in 1926 in a little town in eastern Pennsylvania. He started drawing at age five and trained himself to paint when he was fifteen. Frace remembers wanting to be an artist from a young age and his is self-taught talent earned him a scholarship to Philadelphia's Museum School of Art, from which he graduated with honors. In 1955, Frace started his professional career as a freelance illustrator in New York City. He eventually rose to the status of one of the country's most in-demand wildlife artists. However, Frace quickly became dissatisfied with the constraints of depicting other people's ideas and yearned to create his own drawings, prints, and posters. He only finished one, and his wife, Elke, took it to a nearby art gallery. They insisted on displaying the painting in the gallery, and it sold that same afternoon. Frace's transition to fine art was complete in 1973, when his first limited edition print was released. Frace's drawings, prints, and posters reflect three decades of personal investigation and a deep connection to animals. Frace and his paintings have been the focus of two books. Perhaps the most significant honor of his career came in October 1992, when Frace was honored with a one-man show of thirty-six of his paintings at the National Museum of Natural History of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.. The limited edition print shows a small heard of pronghorn walking through a hilly, grassy valley. One of the males of the heard is further back from the others as he checks over his shoulder, scanning his surroundings. The bottom left is signed by the artist, once on the print and once handwritten in pen for the limited edition release reading, "Charles Frace" in black lettering. The print is double matted with tan and beige matting paper and set in a wood frame behind glass to preserve its condition. The artwork and frame show good condition overall with little to no wear present and no signs of damage noted. The visible artwork measures 23 5/8" L x 18 3/4" W, while the entire piece measures 35 1/4" L x 30 1/2" W x 1 1/8" D. It has a total weight of 13 pounds and 8 ounces.
