Description:

Joby Baker (Canadian/American, b. 1934) and Dory Previn (American, 1925-2012)

Falling Man/Nine Eleven. Numbered and signed "1-1 Baker" in pencil l.r., titled on a label from Salander-O'Reilly Galleries, New York, and on unattributed printed labels, and with pencil inscribed notes for the poem on notebook paper, all included in a clear plastic envelope affixed to the frame backing. Monotype and ink on paper, sight size 17 1/8 x 9 3/4 in. (43.5 x 24.8 cm),matted, framed.
Condition: Toning and fading to poem, not examined out of frame.

Provenance: Collection of Dory Previn, Massachusetts.

N.B. Joby Baker's monotype is framed together with a poem by Dory Previn. Baker and Previn would often collaborate, with Baker first creating an image, then Previn writing a response to the image. Her verses were sometimes spontaneous, but other times took her a while as indicated by her notes affixed to the back of the work.
Estimate $800-1,200
