Hoffmeier; original artist exhibition label on the reverse, “Emily Hoffmeier, Wharf Nantucket, $100 #3 Harborview”. Note: Scattered areas of craquelure.

18 in. x 22 in. Framed 22 in. x 26 in.

From 1929 to her death in 1952, Emily L. Hoffmeier spent summers on Nantucket, painting in the waterfront studios—first Harborview No. 3 and later moving to the Red Anchor Studio on Washington Street. She exhibited in the Easy Street Gallery, the Candle House Studio, and later at the Kenneth Taylor Galleries. After the death of Maud Stumm in 1935, Hoffmeier took over the direction of the annual Sidewalk Art Show, which she ran for the next eighteen years “with untiring cheerfulness and unflagging interest.”
