Description : Judy McKie (American, b. 1944) Giving Bear, 1988 Monotype on paper 19-1/2 x 15-3/4 inches (49.5 x 40.0 cm) (image) Signed, dated, and titled in pencil in lower margin PROPERTY OF A LADY, MONTAUK, NEW YORK In celebration of Women's History Month Judy Kensley McKie is a noted furniture maker and designer whose work is characterized by an enormous sense of whimsy. She earned a B.F.A. degree in painting in 1966, at the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, and became a self-taught furniture maker of necessity in order to furnish her home. She continued to excel in the craft, learning through trial and error, and worked in a furniture-making cooperative until she resolved to create one-of-a-kind pieces. McKie derives inspiration from ancient Greek and Egyptian art, Pre-Columbian, African, Indian, and Eskimo cultures, and folk art. Her designs are usually based upon animal forms. She was the recipient of a Massachusetts Artists' Foundation fellowship in 1980, a Certificate of Design Excellence award in 1986, and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation award in 1989. The present lot is an example of her work in printmaking media. HID04901242017
