[Poster]: The Sculpture of Dr. Selma Burke

[1990].

Sold

Unbound. Poster advertising an exhibition of her work in Austin, Texas at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and museum in 1990. Approximately 17" x 23" on medium stiff cardboard. Black and white lettering on a gold background, around a large image of Burke sculpting, and with a faint superimposed image of the front of the Roosevelt dime, for which she sculpted the head of F.D.R. Some slight wear at the corners and a little rubbing, near fine. Boldly Signed by Burke in the lower right corner and dated by her in 1990, as well as with her small black rubberstamped address. The North Carolina-born Burke received a nursing education in her home state and then went to Columbia to study art, and from there to Paris where she studied with Aristide Maillol. Despite her distinguished career and long life (into her eighties), her autograph is uncommon.
