    Does anyone recognize the name of this artist? I apologize that the picture has so many reflections - opposite a very large window! Picture 1.jpg Numbered print.jpg Signature.jpg

    I have a question about this. It has in pencil "AP" for Artist Proof, and also "33/85" for number 33 of an edition of 85.

    I thought an Artists Proof was more or less an edition of one. Could there be 85 Artist Proofs of this print?

    The glare is a distraction you might want to re take a picture without a glare

    A.P. is often used nowadays as a marketing ploy. From wikipedia.org: "However, some artists use it as a method of re-issuing an edition that has sold out, marking such editions for example 'Artist's Proof no.8 of 50'"

    No, but late 1970s-early 1980s from frame, etc. Anything on the back?

    In theory the number of artists proofs is limited to less than 10% of the size of the regular edition. This would put the edition size at 850 or so. Huge by most standards.

    That really is a difficult signature. You can always open up back and see if anything written inside.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Leads me to wonder yet again why some artists write like doctors.
