Description
ARTIST: Marc Chagall (1887-1985) TITLE: Chagall Gouaches 1957 - 1968, c. 1968 MEDIUM: Original Color Lithograph with Paper and Cloth Collage IMAGE SIZE: 10 ¾" x 8 ¾" (27.31cm x 22.23cm) FRAMED SIZE: 33 ½" x 29 ½" (85.09cm x 74.93cm) SIGNATURE: This work is hand signed by Marc Chagall (1887-1985) in pencil in the lower right margin and signed in the stone, 'Marc | Chagall' in the lower left of the image. EDITION: Featuring wide margins, this work (virtually unique) also appeared as the cover design for the catalogue produced for an exhibition of gouaches by Chagall at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in 1968. There have been no examples of this piece that has come up for auction in the last 20 years - this rare collage with printing is one of a handful in existence. CONDITION: Excellent condition with bright colors throughout. DISCUSSION: This incredibly rare and stunning work is the perfect example of how Marc Chagall has been able to push the envelope of the art world, while also challenging the boundaries of his own creativity. This is a piece unlike any other by Chagall - its textured surface, accented by the collaged pieces of cloth make way for a very abstracted and characteristic effect unique to this work alone. Bordering on cubism and surrealism, Chagall has taken our standard impression of a profile piece and elevated it to new heights. Created in c. 1968, this original color lithograph with paper and cloth collage also appeared as the design for the cover of the exhibition catalogue by Pierre Matisse Gallery. Celebrating a show of original gouaches by Marc Chagall, the catalogue, Chagall Gouaches 1957 - 1968 will also be included in the sale of this piece. Hand signed by Chagall in pencil in the lower right margin and signed in the print in black in the lower left. Printed by Mourlot, Paris and published by the Pierre Matisse Gallery, New York. PROVENANCE: From the collection of the Pierre Matisse Gallery, New York. DOCUMENTATION / COA: It is fully documented and referenced in (copies will be enclosed as added documentation with the invoices that will accompany the final sale of the work): 1) Chagall Gouaches 1957 - 1968. Pierre Matisse Gallery: New York, 1968. Featured as cover image for exhibition catalogue. ABOUT THE FRAMING: Framed in museum-quality, archival materials, this work is set in a Baroque-style gold leaf frame. The shimmering tones of the gold moulding complements the cool tones in the work, found in the solid block colors of the paper collage. Chagall Gouaches is completed with white, linen-wrapped mats and a matching gold inner fillet, finished behind an archival Plexiglas® cover. I. WHO IS MASTERWORKS FINE ART?
