 M. C. Escher Ceramic sculpture by Brigit Beemster (County Sligo, Ireland)Photographed by Jeffrey Price with Escher’s final woodcut, ‘Ringsnakes’Artists’ Market Collection | |
 | M.C.Escher in front of his tool cabinet in a photo by Hans de Rijk about 1970. The cabinet was exhibited at Artists' Market and can be seen in the photograph of the gallery on our home page. Escher stored his printmaking tools within, and attached family photos and artwork to his cabinet, including the famous photograph of his printmaking teacher, S. Jessurun de Mesquita (at Escher's eye level in the photograph above his hand, and reproduced in "The Magic Mirror of M. C. Escher). The photo of de Mesquita and a self-portrait his teacher inscribed to Escher are part of our permanent collection at Artists' Market. |

 | Artifacts from Escher's home and studio, photographed by his biographer Hans De Rijk. The folded paper sphere at the upper left is in the permanent collection of Artists' Market, as is the table on which the objects are arranged in this photo, which Escher acquired in Rome in the 1920's and remained part of his home throughout his life. |
 | Jeff Price in the archives of the M. Escher Foundation at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague, Holland. The black books on the shelves contain Escher's personal letters, scrapbooks, and photographs, while the drawers hold the museum's collection of his artwork. |
 | M.C. Escher signing and dedicating his color woodcut "Spirals" to his biographer, Bruno Ernst. This inscribed example of 'Spirals' is now in the Artists' Market collection. |
 | M.C. Escher's test print for tie tin. The tin manufacturers intended the box to hold 250 grams of bonbons. The tin designed by Escher turned out to be larger than they had planned and held 400 grams of chocolate. Needless to say, the promotion was more expensive than its backers had anticipated. |
