1977 George Tooker "Voice" Signed Lithograph. Noted October 1996 estimate by letter for auction by Sothebys $1000-1500. Another Letter dated more recently August 25, 2008 to Anna Darsky from Heidi Lange Diretor DC Moore Galler in N.Y. states, "Thank you for your inquiry. The George Tooker pint Voice is currently available and the price is 4,000.00 Ther prints are trial proofs from the edition. ** Note: Trial Proofs are not numbered**. The letters and notes will be included with the shipment of this artwork to the new owner. George Clair Tooker, Jr. (August 5, 1920 – March 27, 2011) was an American figurative painter. His works are associated with Magic realism, Social realism, Photorealism and Surrealism. His subjects are depicted naturally as in a photograph, but the images use flat tones, an ambiguous perspective, and alarming juxtapositions to suggest an imagined or dreamed reality. He did not agree with the association of his work with Magic realism or Surrealism, as he said, "I am after painting reality impressed on the mind so hard that it returns as a dream, but I am not after painting dreams as such, or fantasy." In 1968, he was elected to the National Academy of Design and was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Tooker was one of nine recipients of the National Medal of Arts in 2007.
