Linda Stein

I have an engraving by New York artist Linda Stein. It is entitled Impromptu Nudes and is number 66/90. I believe it was made in 1968; it comes with a coa. Can anyone tell me if her art is collectible? Thank you.

 

Image please, both front and back, along with close-up of signature and any stickers or labels.

Ok, give me about 45 minutes and I’ll try uploading them. Thank you

 

Tried uploading image as well as taking photo and both times says file too large. How do I get around that?
I have typewritten info sheet on Linda Stein, coa from jmb publishers signed by JM Barton, NewYork and signed numbered etching

 

the only one i found does....rather weird female sculpture..

 

This is weird female etching

 

Here's a short on-site tutorial on uploading images....they must be UNDER 1 MB.....and if you're on a cell phone others can tell you how to reduce the size easier than I can!

One Linda stein artist born 1943

 

Ummmmm...not so sure......I don't think she was active in 68..

Linda Stein (born 1943) is an American feminist artist whose work focuses on themes of protection and otherness. Stein's work is primarily abstract and figurative sculpture. Stein also has a history of nonfiction writing and art education.

I

i know,but if the typed paper I have with the etching would upload you will see that this lady and one you mention are both born in 1943 and went to same art school/college in queens and have same signature. Only thing I am going by for 1968 is year that is on jmb publishing coa and that could be date of their founding and not date of image. I am positive it’s same artist, I just can find no info.

 

well , it may be.....
but if it is...... and you wanna know if it's collectable...

"an American feminist artist whose work focuses on themes of protection and otherness. Stein's work is primarily abstract and figurative sculpture."

and it's nudes.....then I'd say the market for that would be extremely limited....& if she saw it she's want to burn it !!

But ...hey........that's just one mans opinion !!

 

so we at least need to see the image...............

 

Images will have to wait til tomorrow; I tried sending image to my email and then posting but didn’t work for me.

Collectibility is largely in eye of beholder and I’m not particularly crazy about the image but it does have my curiosity.

I also have a sizeable collection of posters and original artwork by Michael Priest, Kerry Awn and others for concerts at the Armadillo World Headquarters 1970-1980. If anyone can give me info on collectibility of this type of stuff it will be appreciated.

 

Collectibility is largely in eye of beholder............

For something to be collectable , it has to have broad appeal , perceived value, and be highly promoted.

 

true, but items can also be extremely esoteric (but have to have broad enough appeal and promotion) and still have an enormous amount of (perceived) value ... ultimately, i believe most things that are collectible now will become forgotten in years to come ... in many cases i think being collectible depends on personal desire or the significance it contributes to society in any of a number of ways ... but that's just me and many things i collect others consider worthless

 

This is a weird thread.

But I'd love to see the piece, hope you work out the pics problem.
