The Graphic Work of Birger Sandzén by Charles Greenough, Book, copyright 2001

The Graphic Work of Birger Sandzén by Charles E. Greenough is the most comprehensive catalog of Birger Sandzén's graphic art published to date and serves as an unofficial catalogue raisonné of the artist's printmaking career. This revised fourth edition documents Sandzén's achievements in lithography, etching, woodcut, and related graphic media, providing collectors and researchers with an essential reference on an important but often overlooked aspect of the artist's work.

While Sandzén (1871–1954) is internationally recognized for his vibrant paintings of Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, and the American West, he was also a highly accomplished printmaker whose graphic works reveal the same energy, compositional strength, and expressive vision that characterize his paintings. Through detailed documentation and numerous illustrations, Greenough traces the development of Sandzén's printmaking and records many of the known examples produced throughout his career.

This comprehensive list of works and numerous illustrations particularly is a valuable resource for collectors, dealers, museums, and researchers seeking to identify, date, and study Sandzén's graphic works. Long regarded as a standard reference among Sandzén collectors, this revised edition remains one of the most useful resources available for understanding the artist's graphic legacy.
