Declaration Square (photogram, 1955 - 1956)

In 1956 Bolto took up residence in a small brownstone in Greenwich Village, where he made the acquaintance of many figures of the art world, including Robert Indiana and Agnes Martin, the latter of whom, it has been reported, was struck by a series of prints involving quiet, gridlike compositional elements, on which Bolto had been working. A day later Bolto's entire New York production was lost in a mysterious fire. This print, part of a private collection, is the only known extant work from Bolto's Village period.
