Provenance |
Purchased with the assistance of an Art Acquisition Fund grant with funds from the Rasmuson Foundation. The artwork was created in 1996 as a pen-and-ink drawing for sale in the artist's gallery, Soho Coho. A Ketchikan seafood processor purchased the right to use the artwork on promotional materials. In 2008, the artist applied color to the drawing, using colored pencil and watercolor. The work was shown as part of an exhibit at the Seattle Aquarium entitled, "The Fin Art of Ray Troll: Be Careful What You Fish For." Framed at the Exploration Gallery. |
