Item History & Price
HERE’S A SIGNED ORIGINAL VINTAGE 1970S ENAMEL-ON-COPPER PAINTING / PLAQUE BY FRESH MEADOWS, NEW YORK, ARTIST CAROL SIMKIN!The enamel-on-copper painting itself measures approximately three inches (3”) in height by four inches (4”) in width. The overall dimensions of the white-painted wooden frame are approximately five and one half inches (5 ½”) in height by six and one half inches (6 ½”) in width.As you can see from the photographs shown above, Carol Simkin created an Impre...ssionistic landscape of a young woman dressed in white and yellow sitting alongside a pond as she watches what are presumably ducks swimming in the water. Simkin gave the entire scene an impressionistic quality, almost misty in its appearance, with shading of the enamel between light and dark.Signed in post-firing gold “C Simkin” in the bottom right corner. The signature is below the frame so it is not easily viewed. In addition, there is an original artist’s paper label on the backside that reads: “C. Simkin Artist In Fine Enamels 58-47 189th Street Fresh Meadows, N.Y. 11365” along with a phone number.Also, Please Note: The white-painted wooden frame, which looks to be original to the enamel-on-copper painting and most likely was selected by Simkin, has the date “12/8/78” written in pencil on its backside.Condition: Excellent and clean condition – top-notch! The white-painted wooden is also in excellent and clean with only a couple of very small markings.Please scroll down to read the artist’s biography about Carol Simkin.Domestic buyer pays calculated shipping for secure packing and USPS priority or standard within the United States.Selected International buyer pays calculated shipping depending on country.

Morantz Galleries blogspot) Carol Simkin used to visit The Max Karp Enamel Art Gallery in Nyack, New York, before I became director of the gallery in the late sixties and after that time she would visit periodically. Simkin was a student of Max Karp and if she hadn't signed her work, there were times I couldn't tell their work apart.!!!
