June Wayne (American, 1918-2011), Stare, 1986 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.
Stare, 1986, lithograph in black on cream-colored Rives paper. Two stacked rectangular fields are densely worked with rippling, grain-like textures; within the larger upper field, two rounded clamp marks emerge along the lower edge like a pair of eyes. Printed by Edward Hamilton, whose winged-heart blindstamp appears at lower left, with Wayne’s mushroom blindstamp at lower right. The National Gallery of Art documents these marks as Hamilton’s printer chop and Wayne’s artist chop. Numbered and titled in graphite at lower left “4/15 Stare” and signed “June Wayne” at lower right. Smith College Museum of Art likewise records Stare as a 1986 lithograph on slightly textured Rives paper. The verso bears a red copyright stamp “© ’86 All Rights Reserved June Wayne.” Sheet measures approximately 24 x 22.25 inches; image measures approximately 14.25 x 14 inches. The sheet shows light toning and minor handling. Image presents well. Provenance of Martin and Enid Gleich.
