Marc Chagall: Lithographs for The Story of Exodus (1966), p. 2
|

In 1966, Leon Amiel published The Story of the Exodus, a portfolio containing twenty-four large color lithographs (M. 444–467), twenty-three of which were printed on paper measuring 500x370mm and one double-size plate with a centerfold. The edition consisted of 285 signed portfolios, 250 on Velin d'Arches numbered from 1 to 250, 20 on Japanese paper containing a signed impression of the frontispiece, and fifteen copies reserved for the artist and the others involved in the project. Aside from the 20 signed impressions of the frontispiece on Japan, none of the individual impressions were signed. Although this edition is comparable in size to Chagall's 1960 Daphnis and Chloe portfolio, unsigned images from which sell for $5000-$8000 for the single-page size, we have priced these at $3950 each unframed. We have been told that galleries in San Francisco CA are selling them for $6000 each. For Chagall's non-Biblical works, please use the link to The Worlds of Marc Chagall.

In addition to his ppearances in The Story of Exodus, Moses also figures importantly in Chagall's Etchings for the Bible (1930-1939, 1952-1956) and in his lithographs for the 1956 special issue of the deluxe art review Verve, for which Chagall created 16 original lithographs, four of which were devoted to Moses.
