Katherine Bradford (American, b. 1942)
Steamboat USA
Carborundum print
18 × 16 in.
Edition 7/10
Signed by the artist. Archival framed.

Bradford's work is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship and was included in the Whitney Biennial.

A red, white, and blue hull pushes across a dark ground. Bradford's signature steamboat in the colors of the flag. The carborundum process — silicon carbide mixed into adhesive on the plate — gives the print real physical depth and a painterly weight that most printmaking can't touch. Printed at Oehme Graphics in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
