Two signed Artist's Proof photographs by Alaska wildlife photographer Johnny Johnson (1947–2025). The first work, untitled and dated c.2004, follows a polar bear family across a frozen landscape. A cub keeps close behind the adult as they make their way over ridges of broken, violet-blue ice. "Polar Bear w/ Cubs", c.2004, shows a mother protecting her yearling twin cubs on the frozen shore of Hudson Bay, Canada. The cubs press close against her body among the snow and dry stalks, their pale faces turned toward the viewer. Both are signed, dated, and marked A/P in gold leaf ink and printed on Fuji Crystal Archive Supergloss paper. The photographs are shrink-wrapped on board. The largest photograph measures approximately 17" x 24".
