Flight (Belknap 38; Engberg & Banach 67). Original color serigraph, 1970. 250 signed & numbered impressions on Arches paper (plus 50 impressions on Crisbrook Waterleaf). This print is closely related to a series of collages Motherwell executed in 1968 titled In Beige with White. This work was donated to help raise funds for the International Rescue Committee which was dedicated to help rescue artists, writers, musicians, and intellectuals in imminent danger of political, repression. Chagall, who had been saved from the Nazis in 1940 after the fall of France by an earlier version of the group, also contributed to the portfolio. Image size: 647x500mm. Price: $4,150.

Mostly Mozart Festival (Engberg & Banach 526), Original color lithogrph and screenprint, 1991. 800 impressions on Arches, all with text ("Mostly Mozart Festival"), of which Motherwell signed 20 the day before his unexpected death. Of the remaining 780 impressions, 300 were reserved for use at Lincoln Center and the remaining 480 were available for purchase (Engberg & Banach call for 25 signed impressions on Somerset paper; our information comes directly from Tom Lollar, head of the Lincoln Center Print Collection and from the large Arches watermark on all of the copies we received directly from Lincoln Center). This beautiful work is the last print Motherwell completed before his sudden and unexpected death. Lincoln Center sold their last few impressions of the unsigned poster at $1000 each (unframed); our customers have told us that dealers have offered these pieces for as much as $2500 each unsigned and unframed. Image size: 678x556mm; paper size: 1010x740mm. Price: $1500.
We also have one of the 20 signed impressions available for purchase (see image left). Price: SOLD.
