THOMAS HART BENTON Strike . Lithograph, 1933. 255x276 mm; 10x11 inches, full margins. Edition of fewer than 100 (from an intended edition of 300). Signed in pencil, lower right. Published by the Contemporary Print Group, New York. A superb, dark impression of this extremely scarce, early lithograph. This lithograph was published in the second portfolio circulated by the Contemporary Print Group, The American Scene, Series 2 , along with prints by Curry, Gropper, Limbach, Locke and Soyer. According to Cole, "probably fewer than 100 impressions were printed as the project was not successful," The Lithographs of John Steuart Curry , New York, 1976, no. 22. We have found only 8 impressions at auction in the past 25 years. Property sold by order of the Trustees of the Philadelphia Museum of Art to benefit acquisition funds. Fath 5.
