In 1977, Open Studio invited Gordon Smith to visit from Vancouver and make a print in the studio as a resident artist. It was amongst the first of the Studio’s self-initiated publishing projects. Mountains was inspired by a recent residency Smith had undertaken in Banff. The image was hand-drawn on a lithographic stone by the artist, and then printed by Don Holman and Otis Tamasauskas. Tamasauskas recalls Smith allowing the printers much freedom, using all their energy and knowledge in a productive collaboration, such that everyone felt part of his experience at the studio.

Terms & Conditions
Terms and conditions:
1. All lots are sold “AS IS”. Any description issued by the auctioneer of an article to be sold is subject to variation to be posted or announced verbally in the auction room prior to the time of sale. While the auctioneer has endeavoured not to mislead in the description issued, and the utmost care is taken to ensure the correct cataloguing of each item, such descriptions are purely statements of opinion and are not intended to constitute a representation to the prospective purchasers and no warranty of the correctness of such description is made. An opportunity for inspection of each article is offered prior to the time of sale. No sale will be set aside on account of lack of correspondence of the article with its description or its reproduction, if any, whether colour or black & white. Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the responsibility of prospective purchasers to inspect or have inspected each lot upon which they wish to bid, relying upon their own advisers, and to bid accordingly.
2. Each lot sold is subject to a premium as part of the purchase price as per below:
