About This Item
(Purchase, New York): Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase College, State University of New York, 1998. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Organized by Lucinda H. Gedeon. Essays by Michael Brenson and Lowery Stokes Sims. Oblong quarto. Heavily illustrated. Topedge of cover with a small bump else fine in lightly rubbed, near fine dust jacket with a corresponding gentle bump. Inscribed to longtime friend Bertha Taube on the front fly: "To Bertha Taube, in friendship and esteem- Elizabeth Catlett. 3/7/87." Taube's obituary in the *Santa Cruz Sentinel* describes her as a lifelong peace and civil rights activist, and tells of her moving to Mexico City after a divorce, where she "began her lifelong friendship with the renowned artist Elizabeth Catlett—who decades later, Berte [Bertha] assisted crossing the border!" A nice association.
