An artificially enlarged image can be found at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (yesterday).The Helping Hand is, as far as I can tell, currently privately owned.For decades, it was owned by the Corcoran Gallery of Art, in Washington, DC. It was so famous, that its pending sale in 1988, resulted in a Washington Post article (if that link doesn’t work for you, try this; Renwickoff should be “Renwick off”).This says, after being sold, it was loaned back to its prior location; but, it was sold again in 1997.It is described in a page of an online book preview, and in fewer words in 3 pages of another online book preview, starting here, and discussed in another online book preview, starting at the bottom here (I’ll stop now). The artist’s Wikipedia page (Google translated French Wikipedia page has more) and collection.First work, by this artist, to appear here.
