Item Overview

Description

Bernard Childs
(1910-1985)
"En Ville"
color state proof
Numbered 1/1 lower right and signed Childs and dated 1964 lower left. Small mark on left edge. Tag on back of frame from Kulicke Frames, Inc., 43 East 10th Street, New York City. Childs' work is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Childs was born in Brooklyn to Russian immigrant parents. He grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and attended the University of Pennsylvania until he moved to New York City in 1930 to start his art career. He studied at the Art Students League with Kimon Nicolaides and Danish silversmith Per Smed, where he developed his interest in metals. During World War II Childs further honed his skills with industrial tools working as a machinist in a wartime production factory. He lived in Paris from 1951 to 1966 where he developed a unique printmaking technique incorporating his metalworking experience. Childs used power tools to incise intaglio plates and he referred to the resulting prints as "power drypoints."
Sight image 10" H x 8" W, framed.

Note: Harlowe-Powell does not guarantee the condition of any coins. All condition reports are from the consignor.

Reserve Price: Some lots are offered subject to a reserve. A reserve is a confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. Harlowe-Powell will act to protect the reserve by bidding through the auctioneer. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the Seller and may continue to bid on behalf of the Seller up to the amount of the reserve.

Absentee Bids: Please remember this is a live auction. Just because you have left an absentee bid for a certain amount does not mean you will ultimately win the item if it is sold at that amount. Our auctioneer takes bids from all parties including live floor bidders, phone, and on-line bidders. We try to ensure that all bids are represented equally.

The highest qualified Bidder recognized by the Auctioneer shall be the buyer. Auctioneer's decision and declaration of the winning Bidder shall be final and binding upon all Bidders. Bids properly offered, whether by floor bidder or other means of bidding, may on occasion be missed or go unrecognized; in such cases, the Auctioneer may declare the recognized bid accepted as the winning bid, regardless of whether a competing bid may have been higher.

If you are the successful bidder, you have entered into a legally binding contract to purchase the property bid on. You should contact the seller to resolve any questions before bidding.
