Sixty-four etchings and lithographs. It was believed by the auction house that handled this estate sale that there may be some unsigned Milton Avery etchings or lithographs among this group. Milton Avery was a contemporary and friend of Chris Ritter who sometimes pulled etchings for Avery. Are there in fact Milton Avery etchings in this group? I do not know. I do see a few pieces that definitely seem different from Ritter's style, but beyond that, I have no idea and can make no claims and guarantee nothing with regard to any Averys here. However, an interesting idea to contemplate, and I will leave the mystery to the buyer of this collection to unravel.
