Item # Banks 27-B. An original work by Richard Banks. Not Signed by the Artist; from his personal portfolio. Circa 1960's. Titled "Louis Bernardo" possible a dancer with the New York City Ballet. Banks drew many dancers from the troupe. Medium: Pencil on vellum mounted onto artist paper. Condition: the glue used to attach the vellum onto the artist paper has caused brown streaking in the background giving the appearance an ancient effect, not altogether unattractive. Size: 21" x 9.5". Banks was a friend of Doris Duke who attended parties giving by Banks at his Newport Rhode Island Greek Revival Mansion. This drawing has a Federico Fellini Satyricon spirit about it. Photographed behind shrink wrap and loose mounted on foam core. Price: $250.00.
