Help to Identify artist

Hello..

Does anyone know this artist?
Lithograph 54/100
Actual size 11.5" h x 8.5" w

Thank you

 

Assume an English-speaking artist. What part of the world did you find it in? And please be sure to post photographs of work including frame both front and back. The frame provides clues as to dating which in turn provides clues as to artist.

Shiela??? Stella?Casen—-?nova? Guess!

 

This is from Montreal area friend. Sorry about back side I should know by now

 

UPDATE finally found one on Waddington's incase anyone interested and it's actually Ghitta Caiserman 1923-2005 Canadian

 

Well done! What a nice thing to own. From what I can see yours is a newer frame. This one would, I think, be closer to original date of work.

Debora

 

The one I have is #54/100 and 2 sold at Waddington Auction were #2 and #4

 

I'm not sure I understand your point, Donna.

Debora

 

Oh just to do with age looking at frame. Maybe misunderstood you. Mine is #54 the 2 at Waddingtons are #2 and #4 not sure if relative.

 

No. Yours is one of an edition of 100; they would have all been printed at the same time.

Debora

 

It's odd that the other has last name only but all good.

 

They would have been signed individually.

Debora

 

with different names.....on the same edition......????

please show me others where that is the case because I am unfamiliar with that style of signing..

 

from what I see...not so good....
from here..... your print looks to have been trimmed down which would normally kill the value ...going forward..

 

plus the upper edge of yours looks heavily damaged..

 

I have know artists who only sign and number their prints once they have been sold. In such cases the signature changes over time. I also knew an artist that only used to pull his etchings in small batches so an edition of 50 might have been completed only after many years.

 

That is the matting not picture and signed legit. I had it completely apart to clean.

This is the #2 and #4 on Waddingtons from 2012 auction 10 years ago.
She passed in 2005.

Wiki Bio; Ghitta Caiserman-Roth - Wikipedia
She is shown as hyphenated Caiserman-Roth however divorced Max Roth in 1962.

The size of the litho is the same as the Waddingtons as well regarding being trimmed down comment.

Comments? Thank you, all learning right..

 

I read she married Max Roth in 1962 and her daughter, born in 1954, changed her surname to Roth at age 18. I would suspect that it was then -- the early-1970s -- that she began using the hyphen so that the entire family shared a surname. (Before then, by way, it would have been almost unthinkable for a woman to hyphenate her surname and, more importantly, it was illegal. One of the battles fought and won by the Women's Movement.)

Ah yes read that wrong divorced 1st husband married 1962 Max Roth

 

We exhibited her work for a number of years in the 1970's.
