Comments:
Very good condition. Good margins. San Francisco WPA FAP print. A fine impression on white wove BFK Rives paper. The title "901" refers to 901 Potrero Avenue in San Francisco where for awhile was the location of the San Francisco WPA arts projects. It was also the home of the Federal Art Project graphic arts program under the direction of Raymond Bertrand (from 1935-1939). The building stood on the west side of Potrero Avenue where 21st Street intersects. The building is now gone, incorporated at sometime into San Francisco General Hospital.
Marguerite Redman Dorgeloh, or Redman, as she preferred to be called is reputed to have made some 50 prints for the Federal Art Project between 1936 and 1940 (Seaton 2006). A sad coda to her life was her suicide in 1944. A great image of an historically important WPA arts facility.
