I was fortunate enough to come across my second Burke Tyree velvet recently... this one is in somewhat rough shape right now - the velvet has pulled away from the frame in spots. I'm hoping to find an art conservator who can bring it back to it's original glory.

"Native Back - 1966"

Hard to read the signature, but it's there:

It even has a letter from Mr. Tyree himself, attached to the back:

...obituary for the original owner of the painting, Jean Koda: http://rafu.com/news/yayeko-jean-koda/
