Curatorial Remarks

Note

Framed print was left outdoors along the path at Sunnyside by an unknown person during HHV's Legend Daytime events at the site in October 2010. Site Director Dina Friedman found the object and when no one came forward to claim it, transfered it to the curatorial department. Kate Johnson requested that the print be accessioned, although the prior ownership of the object is unclear [Jessa J. Krick, 3/3/2011]. Collections Manager Jessa Krick received written confirmation that the print is titled "Sleepy Hollow" and was released as limited edition lithograph in 1991. The edition was of 500. A certificate of authenticity was suppled by Mt. Nebo Gallery, the authorized publisher for Will Moses (see Object File). [Jessa J. Krick, 3/23/2011].
