Comment(s): Wheeler is often spoken of as one of the least appreciated, but most deserving, of 20th Century American artists. His work is increasingly being "discovered," as evidenced by the sale of his painting "Un Titled, W22 (Man Looking at Pork Chop)" at Christie's New York, 05/21/2008, lot #8, at $109,000. There has been recent increasing interest in his fine prints as well. Image copyright © The Estate of Steve Wheeler. [23704-2-400]
