Most editions today are sized between fifty and two hundred impressions, with commercial lithograph and poster editions sometimes running into the thousands. Editions of ten are reserved for collaborations between artists and master printers who want each impression to retain the rarity — and the per-piece value — of a closely held work. As Bradford's market grows, small editions like this one become progressively harder, and more expensive, to acquire on the secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProvenance — direct from Oehme Graphics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis impression was produced at Oehme Graphics in Steamboat Springs, Colorado — the master print shop run by Sue Oehme, longtime collaborator with Katherine Bradford and one of the most respected printers working with contemporary American painters today. I acquired the studio's holdings of these editions directly from Sue. The work has not previously circulated on the public market: Oehme Graphics is an active, in-demand studio, and the editions sat with the printer rather than being released to dealers. That is why a print of this caliber — by an artist whose primary market has climbed sharply since these were pulled in 2018 — is still available at original gallery pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA rare opportunity for new collectors to acquire museum-quality work by one of today's most important American painters — at print pricing.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKatherine Bradford's paintings are held in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Portland Museum of Art, the Menil Collection, the Frye Art Museum, and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, among others.
