Greetings! In the book, The Life and Art of Florine Stettheimer, the
description reads, "In this handsomely illustrated book, Barbara
Bloemink presents the first full account of the life and art of this
intriguing American modernist, showing how her bold and inventive
paintings, poetry, and design works provide a biting social commentary
on the culture of her era." It is offered at Amazon.com for $39.00.
I am not able to verify that a full list of art is in the book but the
description states it as such. Reviews of the book at Yale University
Press (book offered for $60.00 there):
"The fullest account ever given of Florine Stettheimer's life and art.
Bloemink does a splendid job of explaining the iconography of
Stettheimer's important paintings and sets the analyses of art within
the framework of the artist's personal life in all its glamour and
eccentricity."--Wanda Corn, Stanford University
"A significant contribution to the art historical literature of early
American modernism. The book moves comfortably between discussions of
individual art works and events in Stettheimer's life and does an
excellent job of talking about her sources and influences."--Ellen
Wiley Todd, George Mason University
"Florine Stettheimer's life may have overlapped Kahlo's, but she was
worlds away with her upper-class New York German-Jewish background,
her European education, her art of commentary and manners in a style
that looked charmingly primitive only because she had so successfully
integrated art from Brueghel to Duchamp. Barbara Bloemink's altogether
satisfying book, The Life and Times of Florine Stettheimer is the
first full-fledged biography of a woman who was a central figure in
the modernist social circles of her time."--Amei Wallach, Newsday
"Prudent, thorough and informative."--Nicholas Jenkins, Times Literary
Supplement
"A brilliant iconographic guide that rewards the reader's patience as
the best means of appreciating the uncompromising avant-garde intent
behind works that were sophisticated syntheses of "drama, movement,
setting and implied music". Stettheimer created the ultimate American
history paintings inspired by personal experience."--Althea Greenan,
Women's Art Magazine
"[Bloemink] make[s] widely available the comprehensive monographic and
analytical treatment necessary to understand this little known but
major visionary painter. . . . Academically thoroughgoing, it is,
nonetheless, especially well-written. Bloemink clearly displays her
admiration and insight."--Library Journal
As far as purchasing originals, "A superb Florine Stettheimer, lot
111, "Fourth of July, No. 2," was estimated at $75,000 to $100,000 and
sold, justifiably, for $145,500." was described from an art auction by
the City review.
I could not locate prints of her paintings for sale but I did find a

He may know where reproductions (if they exist) may be purchased. The
only place I found reproductions was in the book mentioned above and
in a book called "Heart To Heart" - that's a poetry book that uses at
least one Florine reproduction. I think The Life and Works will have
the best reproductions. I hope this information is of assistance in
your quest.
