[MODERN DANCE - TED SHAWN] FELTEN, Major

Original Lithographed Performance Poster for [Ted] Shawn and His Dancers, c.1930s

N.p., n.d. (ca 1930-35). Original lithograph, 63 x 41 inches, printed in black and red on white stock. Professionally conserved, backed on rice paper with minor areas of cleaning and restoration; Near Fine. Signed in matrix, lower right.

A spectacular and large performance poster by the noted Art Deco designer and illustrator Major Felten (1904-1975). Undated, but after 1930 (when Shawn and Ruth St. Denis dissolved their Denishawn Company and Shawn established his own modern dance troupe, Ted Shawn and His Dancers, sometimes billed as Ted Shawn and His Men Dancers). Apparently rare, with only a single example noted at auction, none catalogued in institutional collections (as of October 2023).

Price: $2,500.00
