Labor Studio Intaglio Print: Soft Ground, Line Etching, and Aquatint on Copper Plate, 11.875 in. by 11.875 in., 1980.

The Labor Studio was built to house four 12 ft. by 12 ft. mural paintings that Jack made for the US Department of Labor from 1974 to 1977. The studio housed the four canvases, the five people who worked on them, the many people who posed for the paintings, and the equipment needed for the job. This is a deeply bitten plate with some very delicate aquatint areas as well. The plate was steel-faced by Orlando Condezo at Spring Press in NYC in July, 2004.
