How to identify it
The copy in the auction catalog is signed at lower right and also signed in the plate at lower right. It came with a Frame House Gallery information packet on the artist, with his statement.1
A dealer describes its copy as signed in pencil.4
Ray Harm prints in general
Harm explained his two signatures himself. He lettered his name on each painting, so that printed name appears on every copy. A second name, in pencil and in script, below or near the printed one, means he signed that copy by hand.3
Not every print was signed or numbered. He wrote that for the first two or three years, from 1962, individual prints were neither signed nor numbered, and that later prints were signed and individually numbered. Some editions made to raise funds were partly numbered and signed, with the rest signed only.3
Editions were large. His official site gives 5,000 for Red-winged Blackbird (1967) and Rufous-sided Towhee (1969), and 7,500 for Yellow-breasted Chat (1973). Louisville Magazine quotes a bookseller’s view that Harm overprinted and so lowered the value of his art.7892
