- Lot Description
(American, born 1944)
1986, bleached and carved rock maple, unsigned, custom designed, with leaf, 30 x 98-1/4 x 44 in., leaf adds 18 in.; accompanied by design drawing showing three elevations, sheet 29-3/4 x 42 in.
Provenance: Commissioned from the artist in 1985 for $10,000; Estate of Alice Zimmerman, Nashville, Tennessee
Note: In 1984–1985, celebrated furniture designer Judy McKie created this table expressly for collector Alice Zimmerman. In a letter to Zimmerman, McKie wrote of her excitement for the project, calling it "a major piece." She quoted a price of $10,000 and secured the right to reproduce the design in the future--though it remains uncertain whether she ever revisited the form in this substantial scale. While the motif has surfaced on the market as a round table, this example stands apart for its size, provenance, and completeness. Remarkably, the lot includes McKie’s original design drawing, her correspondence with Zimmerman, and an archive of brochures and publications documenting her work.
