Thrift Finds! Emil Ganso woodblock print, Dorothy Gillespie Sculpture! But need help w/Lamp?

Went to a local thrift store today like I do every week day (weekends I have a garage sale/estate sale & try to sell what I've found the previous week) and found a couple of cool pieces - including one of the prettiest I've ever seen & now one of my favorite art pieces - a woodblock print by Emil Ganso titled The Bathers.
It is hand signed & looks like it's numbered 7 of 9? But I found one like mine in this link ( Emil Ganso (1895 - 1941) — Brier Hill Gallery ) to Briar Gallery that says it was an edition of 200 made in 1933 - but the says another edition of 200 was printed for the woodcut society and signed by Franny Ganso his widow - which one do I have?

My 2nd find was a small 9" abstract spiral ribbon sculpture that is signed & numbered (#57 of 100) by Dorothy Gillespie!

Finally the 3rd thing I found I didn't boy because I couldn't find another like it & I was afraid it was just a homemade project - but looks kind of arts & crafts movement to me? (It could ne a chandelier because there is a eye hook on side plug is) Can anyone tell me anything about this lamp (hoping it will still be there tomorrow if good)?

Thanks for any help & I hope you enjoy my finds today!

 

On the lamp, is that glass or plastic in the sides.

Looks 1970s-90s to me, not seeing Arts & Crafts influence at all, JMHO.

 

Plastic

 

No worries- I'm usually wrong about art!

 

Lamp is Early Trailer Park. Given colorway, I'd think 1970s about right.

This one has the same marks as yours. And for only $1,800, the seller is generously including the frame.

I think you may have the later edition. Like this one.

The description in 1st Dibs also says 1950s and signed by wife.
Either way it's a beautiful piece!

 

Yes, great find. Artist famous, by way, for his mastery of crosshatching.

That lamp is pure homebrew. I bet some kid made that in shop class in the 70s. It would look right at home in someone's 70s theme rumpus room.

 

Well I'm getting better - I looked & image searched & hemmed & hawed and finally decided it was so ugly it would probably be there tomorrow after I had a chance to ask antiquers.com!!

 

Found this on back - any idea who signed it? - Because they - multiple times - misspelled Ganso's name Garso, and they were swearing they knew him and this was an original piece by him!

 

The card would have been typed by his secretary and perhaps she couldn't differentiate his rs from his ns. Wouldn't worry about it. He didn't take the time to proof before signing. Or else she signed for him which wasn't uncommon back in the day. Script fonts for typewriters were introduced in the early 1960s.

So that's his signature (Emil) on coa? Makes it interesting if so - having his & wife's signatures!

 

Apologies, I misunderstood your post and now see the "coa" as you call it has the correct spelling of the artist's name while the label does not. So please disregard my post above. The artist died in 1941. Script fonts for typewriters weren't available until the early 1960s so not possible his signature is on coa.

No worries. Any thought on the Gillespie sculpture (I might be able to do that one!)?

 

It does appear to be what it looks like. If you haven't found it, some sales estimates here.

I put it on ebay and the next morning I had an offer - and accepted - $225!
Thanks again everyone!

 

Gotta love when that happens!
