Untitled for Fresh Air School. Original color lithograph, 1972, for the large-format exhibition catalogue for an exhibition of paintings by Sam Francis, Joan Mitchell, and Walasse Ting "Assembled and Toured" by the Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, 1972.

Edition: unknown (c. 2000). Ours is a fresh impression with the usual centerfold. Image size: 380x560. Price: $950.
