Author: Weintraub, Sally / Prologo de Ernesto B. Rodriguez / Poema de Francisco Tomat-Guido
Title: Cartas de Piel; Xilografias de Sally Weintraub
Description: Buenos Aires, Argentina, Francisco A. Colombo, 1966. 1st printing. Portfolio. Folio. Each print measures approximately 41 x 28.5 cm on stiff Dutch paper. The very bottom edge of the prints show slight soiling and a little creasing; otherwise each is in excellent condition. The stiff card folder is quite worn and soiled and the folds of it have been reinforced with clear tape. The other inserted material shows slight wear but, with the exception of the photo page (showing a young Weintraub and the poet Tomat-Guido), which has a stain across the bottom edge, everything else is unmarked. The text is in English and Spanish. The English translation of the poem is by Celia Pschero. Weintraub was born in 1931 in La Pampa, Argentina, but now lives and works in Spain. She had a major showing of her work at The Agora Gallery in November, 2014, in New York City. She is the recipient of numerous awards and honors. A list of her exhibitions and collections, from 1955 to 1966, is reproduced in this portfolio. Further information about the artist may be found at her website: sallyweintraub(dot)com. 'Letters of Skin' is the name the artist gives to her five xilographies [sic] (i.e. xylography or woodblock print). 'Her five xilographies represent the fundamental human reality in its lyric, symbolic and erotic meaning; reality which can be obtained in art much more perfectly than in the world' (from the Prologue). The five woodblock prints in this portfolio are numbered, and the limitation number (44/300) and year of production (1966) are individually designated by hand in pencil. In addition, Weintruab has signed her name in ink below the colophon. Ill.: five prints.
