I have enjoyed having this lovely piece on my walls for almost 35 years and now it's time for someone else to enjoy it. I welcome your questions. Includes COA.
Appraised for $7000 in 1990 without the frame. The frame cost nearly $500 in 1986 and would cost over $2,000 to reproduce today. It is truly stunning in person and complements the print perfectly. You should see this piece on a wall-- it comes alive. The frame is in beautiful condition, as are the matting and lithograph itself.
It is hand signed, stamped and numbered. 168/300. It has a unique, original "remarque" drawing (the flower next to the signature). The piece is 48" x 35" framed and 39" x 25" unframed. It is in mint condition throughout. It is very classy and subtle. The lithograph is still flat (many become wavy over time, which detracts from their value). The artist impregnated the acid free rag paper with mother-of-pearl and gold to give it a gentle, natural sheen. It is embossed throughout with silver. Non-smoking home. The print is in perfect condition.
History of this print--please read
I am the original owner. I purchased it in 1986, sent it back to the artist for a unique, original "remarque" to be drawn --the small flower next to the signature (see pic #4)--then commissioned a local artisan to build the frame. It took 3 weeks to build and uses the finest materials. It is a hardwood frame with 18K white gold on the lip of the frame and surrounding the double matting, which is a light blue, non-shiny silk that matches the colors in the print beautifully. The outer edge of the frame is a rich black enamel, several coats deep. It has multilayers of gesso underneath the enamel and gold leafing. I wish I could explain it to you the way the artisan did to me, but the frame is as much a work of art as the lithograph.
