Tooker, George. REPOSE (SLEEP). Garver 2. Cast paper intaglio, 1976. Edition of 150, printed on buff Arches paper, numbered 133/150 and signed in pencil. 9 3/4 x 12 1/2 inches, 248 x 317 mm. In excellent condition. Framed. Repose is the second of only nine prints made by Tooker (American, born 1920), who is primarily a painter. "Repose," and "Night" (Dreamer), which was Tooker's first print, were produced by making a wax relief, casting it in bronze, and then making paper casts by pressing moistened paper into the bronze mold. Tooker's subsequent prints are lithographs.
