ARTIST
PROOFS
Collectors
sometimes ask what the a.p. means when it appears before an
edition number. I've included this explanation for your information
.
ARTIST PROOFS OR A.P.'S
Most
all limited edition reproductions have a regular edition and
artist proofs. 'Artist law' dictates that the artist proofs
total no more than 10% of the regular edition. If an edition
is 750, then there may be up to 75 artist proofs. An artist
can also call these publisher proofs (p.p.), color proofs
(c.p.), or trial proofs (t.p.). In France, proofs are called
edition d' artist (e.a.). However named, the total of all
these extra proofs cannot be over 10% of the regular edition.

A
recently published book has a popular Rie Munoz image as cover
art. Wonderful Worship in Smaller Churches, by David R. Ray,
published by Pilgrim Press, has Muñoz's image of "Anglican Church
Telegraph Creek" on the cover.

Tenakee
Rie
Muñoz has painted Tenakee many times in her career. We ha've included
a list of the published Tenakee images. (See facing page.) Muñoz
first visited Tenakee during Thanksgiving of 1963 with her son Juan
and friends. Rie acquired a small lot there in 1972 and instructed
me to build a cabin. At 17, I didn't have much experience so she directed
me to the section of the public library under 'construction' and had
me study foundations.
Rie
wanted a small Pan Abode cedar cabin but when the company suggested
a large two bedroom house with cedar garage, she opted for just the
garage. 
Rie
substituted the garage door with Dutch doors and added more windows.
She hired a fishing boat to bring the 'cabin' to Tenakee and it arrived
during the 4th of July festivities. We were hauling lumber in between
egg tosses and three legged races. I spent the summer of 1973 building
the cabin and it still stands thanks to a new foundation put in last
summer along with a second floor. The remodeling included such luxuries
as a bathroom to replace the 28-year-old outhouse, and a bedroom.
There's
an artist's studio upstairs and Rie has already done a few paintings
there. She is looking forward to spending more time in Tenakee.

 Rie
Munoz's niece Marie, and her husband Dave Kirby of California
visited the family last summer and had fun fishing and whale
watching. Dave is a big fan of Rie's art, particularly her ravens.
He chose his favorite and got a prominent (and permanent) tattoo
on his left arm. Dave, we are as honored as you are, what a
fan!
