ref. abaa-vbf1937A collection as found in a folder of 67 pieces of original abstract designs done by 2 women. The work is either collage with construction papers or very colorful pastel designs. This probably dated from the 1930's to early 1950. Almost every piece is signed by either artist. I could not find any info on either artist and Moscow Utah was a mine in the 20th century. The artwork is really striking.
