Framed 49 x 49" white-washed maple, UV3 Plexiglas.
Notes on this work: Rick Bartow wrote a “1” on the right margin of this work, it is first of a series of approximately 7 works of the same size paper. Bartow wrote "CS" twice at the top of this drawing. It is both a self portrait and references an 1880's photo of a Wiyot man that Rick had seen wearing a hat with a racoon tail, and Bartow told me "CS" stands for "Coon Skin." This work was included in the traveling exhibition “Things You Know But Cannot Explain," which was Conceived and organized by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon, in cooperation with Froelick Gallery, this retrospective exhibition represented nearly forty years of work and traveled to 11 institutions over a 5 year period. The 7th work from this series of drawings is "Self in Monet's Hat" and it is in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY, NY.
