About Asa Cheffetz

Asa Cheffetz (1896–1965) was an American artist and printmaker recognized primarily for his wood engravings. Active in the early-to-mid twentieth century, Cheffetz worked across several printmaking media but built his reputation on finely detailed wood engravings of rural American subjects, especially New England landscapes, farmsteads, and pastoral scenes. His engravings such as Break of Day (Vermont), Abandoned Farmhouse, and The Brook reflect a sensitivity to light, texture, and the vernacular architecture of the countryside. Cheffetz is recorded in the Getty Union List of Artist Names, the Library of Congress Name Authority File, and VIAF, underscoring his established presence in American printmaking history. With over two hundred lots documented in auction databases, his work appears with some regularity on the prints and works-on-paper market.

Common works and media

Cheffetz's most frequently encountered works are black-and-white wood engravings on paper depicting rural landscapes, farm buildings, brooks, and seasonal New England scenery. Edition sizes and paper stocks vary. Untitled or generically titled engravings appear alongside named works such as Break of Day (Vermont) and Abandoned Farmhouse. Other printmaking media by Cheffetz exist but are less common in auction contexts.

Market and appraisal context

Cheffetz's wood engravings are the category most likely to appear at auction, generally offered in prints and multiples sales or American art sessions. Value depends on the specific engraving, edition size, impression quality, paper condition, and provenance. Titled works with clear attribution and good margins tend to attract stronger collector interest. Because no comprehensive catalogue raisonné is publicly available, authentication relies on comparing impressions to documented examples in museum and library holdings. Collectors should also note that Cheffetz worked in media beyond wood engraving; works in other printmaking techniques may be less commonly encountered at auction.
