June Wayne (American, 1918-2011), My Self, 1985 Color Lithograph
June Wayne (American, 1918–2011) was a highly influential American printmaker, painter, designer, author, and educator best known for founding the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles in 1960, an institution widely credited with revitalizing fine art lithography in the United States during the postwar era. A pioneering figure in modern American printmaking, Wayne collaborated with generations of artists and master printers while helping elevate lithography to a major contemporary fine art medium. Her works are held in prominent institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art, National Gallery of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, National Museum of Women in the Arts, and the Norton Simon Museum.

Verso bears the stamp “© ’85 All Rights Reserved June Wayne,” with additional pencil notations and an embossed artist’s chop. Sheet measures approximately 22 x 21 inches; image measures approximately 9 x 7 inches. The sheet shows light handling with minor surface marks. Image presents well.
