This brilliantly composed, strikingly colored print was made in 1964 from stones prepared by the artist, characterized by islands of yellow, red, and light-blue against a whitish-gray ground. The numbered prints have been certified by Margarete Baumeister and bear the printer’s stamp and the signature of Erich Mönch, director of the printing shop at the Stuttgart Akademie, on the reverse. Collector's Editions will be shipped upon receipt of payment (including postage and handling) or credit card authorization.
