Alexander CalderComposition Lignes Mouvementees - Also known as 'Quilt'. 1966

Original lithograph in colours. 1966. Signed in pencil. From the only edition presented by Calder to the Detroit Institute of Arts to be sold as a fund raiser for the Museum(see note below). Drawn and edition printed at the studio of Arte Adrien Maeght, Paris 1966. 

Note: Calder  gave permission for an edition of up to 600 but the actual printed edition was in fact much less than that(?c.250-300) as Calder's reputation with the public at that date was not enough to justify a large issue. None of the impressions sold through the Museum were numbered and the actual issue number is not recorded.

Excellent impression with very fresh colours. Drawn virtually to the full sheet size, as issued. Sheet: 54 x 75 cm. Framed.
