Description: John Sloan, Arch Conspirators. Etching, 1917. 110x153 mm; 4 1/2 x 6 inches, full margins. Second state (of 2). Edition of 100. Titled "Arch Conspirators", lower left, and signed "John Sloan", lower right. In a frame made by Bark Frameworks. Excellent Condition, a richly-inked impression with deep, velvety blacks throughout. On January 23, 1917, a group of Village Bohemians stole to the top of the Washington Square Arch for a fête. Poet Gertrude Drick, painters John Sloan and Marcel Duchamp, and Provincetown Playhouse actors Russell Mann, Betty Turner, and Charles Ellis found a way into the Arch and stole up the spiral staircase. These six self-proclaimed “Arch Conspirators” then spread out blankets, hung Chinese lanterns, tied red balloons to the Arch’s parapet, sipped tea, shot off cap pistols, and conversed until dawn before declaring a “Free and Independent Greenwich Village.”
