Artists: Ten (10) Signed Pieces by Chagall, Lichtenstein, Conrow, Ennis, Four Pieces by de Kooning and More. A collection of signed pieces by some of the greatest artists of the 20th Century. Several are boldy signed book and catalog published images of their works worthy of framing. Larger versions of some of these prints regularly command $800 to $1000 each.
1.) Four (4) wonderful boldly signed prints by Willem de Kooning, one measuring 12 x 8½" of "Pastorale" and the other three measuring 10 x 8½" which include a close-up detail from Woman I, and two that are untitled. All four very suitable for framing. 2.) Two pieces signed by Roy Lichtenstein, one a 12 x 8½" portrait photo of him signed boldly in blue marker at bottom of white border. The other is a centerfold lift from a book of his paintings between 1970-1980. The work is entitled "The Dance" with image measuring 12 x 15½" and signed in red on left side of white border. Also included is a brochure from the landmark retrospective in 1993-94 at the Guggenheim Museum. 3.) A Cronyn & Lowndes Galleries exhibition brochure from 1934 inscribed and signed by acclaimed watercolorist George Pearse Ennis with a tipped image of one of his paintings 9 x 7". Includes other materials from the 30s regarding the artist. 4.) Andy Warhol's signature is on a check he did not cash. 5.) Marc Chagall has signed a 1973 Israeli First Day Issue commemorative cover, across two large stamps boasting different images of his Chagall Windows. (Note"Chagall" on lower left of envelope is pre-printed) 6.) Wilfred S. Conrow, the celebrated portrait artist from Hickory, NC and founder of the Hickory Museum of Art has made notations and signed a very large brown envelope dated Dec. 1933 with his superb signature quite large, almost 5" in length. 7.) The Joan Miró pieces are a bit unusual. In his hand he has dated his letter head head quite boldly. Also the envelope to addressee is written in his hand. But Miró returned a check dated 7/7/79 effectively canceling it by scribbling a design in red and blue colored pencils. Is it a cat, a dog, under a blue moon, who's to say, but it is an original Miró! Estimated Value $800 - UP
