Title:	Untitled Figure Study
Artist:	Frank, Mary (London, 1933 -Resides, New York City)
Date:	c. 1970 - 1980
Medium:	Original Engraving
Note:	Mary Frank: One of America's leading contemporary sculptors, painters, printmakers and illustrators, Mary Frank moved from London to New York at the age of eight. Her first interest in the arts was dance and in this field she studied under Martha Graham, Jose Limon and others for a period of five years. By the age of twenty, however, Frank shifted her focus to the visual arts and studied life drawing, under Hans Hoffman, and drawing techniques with Max Beckman at the American Art School, New York. Concentrating first upon sculpture Mary Frank's first exhibited works date from the mid 1950's. Her initial one woman exhibition took place in New York in 1961 and since that time her art has been the subject of exhibitions throughout the United States and in France and Germany.
	Holder of the Milton Avery chair, Mary Frank has worked and lectured at such institutions as the New School for Social Research (1965-1970), Bard College, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1992-93), Smith College and Harvard University. She has also illustrated such fine books as Shadows of Africa, The Mature Poetry of Emily Dickinson, Skies in Blossom and Desert Quartet: An Erotic Landscape. Today the art of Mary Frank is included in such major collections as The Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Library of Congress, Washington, DC, New Jersey State Museum and the Fisher Gallery, University of Southern California.
	Whatever the medium, Mary Frank's influential art is based upon consistent, almost archetypal, imagery. Horses, shrouded figures, wheels, hands, birds and, above all, the female figure, occupy prominent positions, always evoking states of feeling and emotion. Hayden Herrera writes,
	"Frank's work is constantly constructing and reconstructing new meaning and feeling from an arcane, preexisting language of visible words. Functioning like the vocabulary of a mysterious, forgotten language, they (the images) work to create new significations in new juxtapositions." * These words clearly apply to this superb engraving.
