Rare Original 1965 William Saltzman Pen & Ink Nude Study on Paper Mid Century
Please let us know if you have any questions. A Rare Original Pen & Ink Nude Study by Mid Century Modern Artist William Saltzman. This would have been a studio work and possibly created in a live figure drawing class. It is signed and dated 4-11-1965. This is a great piece for a Saltzman collector due to the ephemeral quality of the piece; something that easily could have become lost to time. It is somewhat smudged and has old tape stains at the corners. With some stabilization and proper framing this piece can become a unique record in the historical archive of this artists career.
