‘San Francisco Press Club Cat’ Limited Ed Print, Beniamino Bufano, 1967

This vibrant piece was won by our grandmother Winona Sands at an art benefit, presented to her in person by Bufano, according to a notation on the back by her. In another person’s handwriting is the text ‘One of a very limited number of prints. The original should bring $ 3,000.00 – said Bufano on the T.V. Auction for KQUED. 6-7-67’
 
Beniamino Benevenuto Bufano (1898–1970) was an American/Italian artist who is most well known for his sculptures of all sizes.
 
The print is on a piece of hard cardboard, which may have been as originally received. The corners are bumped and peeling in places. There is a strange indentation in the middle of the cat’s lower legs and some signs of what one might call ‘careless storage’, eg. a scratch or two when held up to the light in a certain way. But it is a striking piece all the same.
 
H 14 1/2” x L 21 5/8
