Here is an Absolutely Gorgeous & Extremely-Rare Vintage 1970 Original Limited Edition Signed & Numbered 5/75 Framed & Matted Graphic Color Aquatint Etching, Plate No. 5 ‘For In And Out…’ (Quatrain) from the Original Portfolio Series of 6 Etchings titled, “Six Impromptus on Omar Khayyam” by the famous listed painter & etcher, ‘Mark Tobey’ (American, 1890-1976), whose hand written in pencil signature & date, ‘Tobey 1970’, appears lower-right in the outer plate margin area just beneath the image and has an accompanying English version poem on verso, written & attributed originally to the world-famous Astronomer poet & polymath, Omar Khayyám (Persian, 1048-1131) from selected quatrains in, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam (1st Edition had 75 quatrains) which was translated from Persian/Farsi & published in 1859 by the well-known English poet & writer, Edward FitzGerald (English, 1809-1883). The poem reads:FOR IN AND OUT, ABOVE, ABOUT, BELOW,
‘TIS NOTHING BUT A MAGIC SHADOW-SHOW,
PLAY’D IN A BOX WHOSE CANDLE IS THE SUN,
ROUND WHICH WE PHANTOM FIGURES COME AND GO.
Etching Info: Note: This listing is for this ‘ONE’ Etching only, as we DO NOT have the other 5 from the series... The etching is matted with an off-white mat and is in its original modern thin-edged metal frame with 1” high profile sides & plexiglass, and the interior has a wood stretcher-like frame interior for support and screws on the sides of the frame holding it in—heavier & very stable. The artist’s signature & date, ‘Tobey 1970’, appears hand-written in pencil lower-right in outer margin area just beneath the Etching image and the edition number, ‘5/75’, is handwritten in pencil by the artist lower-left respectively. The Etching is on a nice off-white colored wove paper stock. The quatrain/poem is printed with larger type onto a linen-like paper which was placed behind the etching on the back with a clear acetate cover so it is plainly visible to read in the center area. The etching used to be in the collection of the San Francisco Museum of Art and their tiny label appears affixed to the frame on verso and reads: ‘Mark Tobey: Prints, San Francisco Museum of Art, Reg. No. 168.72.43’. The Etching was later in the Anderson Gallery collection here in Buffalo, NY and their label is tucked behind as well (used to be glued to top left corner/now loose) and reads: ‘Mark Tobey, SIX IMPROMTUS ON OMAR KHAYYAM [sic], 1970, etching, ed. of 75, plate No 05, sheet 10.6 x 11.4 inches, 270 x 290 mm., loc: AG2-02.1B, Anderson Gallery, Martha Jackson Place, Buffalo, NY, 61758.04 [barcode]’ and their title label is affixed at right on the wood and reads: ‘FOR IN AND OUT, (from Six Impromptus on Omar Khayyam, 1970, Color aquatint, and bin 26.1B [written in red pen in top area]’. There is a Plexiglass label at top on verso and a handful of other negligible hand-written inventory notations in pencil & marker around the wood frame backing itself too, which include the notations: ‘40’ (circled), ‘84’ (also circled), ‘G1758-D,’, ‘Box 1’, ‘#4 [green pencil], Box 2’, ‘Bx1 1717’, and ‘3’ (red ink). Size & Condition: The Etching size itself is 4-9/16” x 5-3/4”, Visible mat opening size is 5-1/8” x 6-1/4”, Framed size is 16-5/8” x 12-7/8” x 1”. The Etching itself is in Excellent Rare+ condition for its vintage age with rich & fresh color with no color fade! Simply Beautiful and will make the perfect addition to any Mark Tobey, or Omar Khayyam collection. No damage at all to the Etching itself—no foxing and no real or noticeable toning of the paper stock(s) from age, especially amidst the off-white colors of the paper stock & matting themselves, and no damage to the mating either. The old Plexiglass does have some minor-to-more pronounced surface scuffing & scratches here & there, with a few scratches/scuffs that do get in the way of viewing the image, and could easily be changed out professionally & with highly-recommended upgrade to UV Plexi or UV Conservation Glass, but we’ll leave that up to the winning Buyer to do that if they wish. The metal frame itself has minimal wear with some small scuffs & tiny scratches along the edges & sides (nothing serious), and still displays well, but the mat has slipped a bit in the frame in the upper-right corner, which could likely be shifted back a titch to not show. What a cool piece and is ready to hang! PAYING FOR YOUR ITEM:
