Vintage Max Karp Enamel On Copper, Rare
Item History & Price
Max Karp Enamel On Copper, Rare!. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
This is an amazing original piece by a legend, the father of enamel on copper.
Max Karps student Carol Simkin was inspired by this exact piece.
The actual copper disc is 10"× 7.25", the frame is roughly 16" × 14". Has original frame with all four corners intact, a very rare treat. In one photo you'll see a small crack in paint on frame, but I believe its the aged paint and not the wood underneath. A...lso, you'll note the original owner purchased this piece on April 20th, 1975 at a gallery in Las Vegas for $475. Over 45 years ago someone paid that!!!! They definitely treasured this piece because it is in amazing condition. If you're not familiar with Max Karp, I'll include a short bio in the photos. I truly do hope this finds another great home.
