- Lot Description
James Q. Jacobs (American, XX-XXI). 5 ink drawings on BFK Rives paper, n.d. Signatures and locations of sites are handwritten in pencil beneath each drawing. A fascinating ensemble of drawings representing petroglyphs of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures found in Utah and Texas. Jacobs drew these compositions in black India ink on acid free BFK Rives paper. In Jacobs' words, "Rock surfaces employed by artists preserve a graphic record of prehistory world-wide, in Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Americas. The Southwest region of the United States of America has the greatest concentration of rock art in the Americas. In the dry desert environment, with its profusion of rock surfaces and shelters, an incomparable cultural legacy is preserved." Size of each drawing: 22.25" L x 29.875" W (56.5 cm x 75.9 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Bishop Family Trust collection, the Trust of the late Bill Bishop, a noted antiquarian with shops in Scottsdale, Arizona and Allenspark, Colorado, USA, acquired before 2010
