Footnotes

  • We have found no record of an impression of this print having been offered at auction in the past twenty years.

    "Place Blanche is situated on the Boulevard de Clichy and faces the celebrated Moulin Rouge dance hall. The print was much admired when exhibited in Nevinson's solo show of prints held at the Kraushaar Galleries, New York, in October 1926."

    We are grateful to Dr. Jonathan Black for his assistance in cataloguing this lot and for providing the footnote. Dr. Black's forthcoming monograph C.R.W. Nevinson: The Complete Prints is due to be published by Lund Humphries in September this year.
