RARE!!!!! One of a kind!!!!!!!
MCM Signed Patrice Breteau Printers Proof Lithograph on Heavy Art Paper
This is a one of a kind masterpiece. One of one printers proof.
Artwork has emense detail, and each element is superbly fasioned with differing surface characteristics that may not be part of "main body of prints".
Work is executed on heavy art paper, that is very thick. Again, this aspect may not be part of main run, as I have seen other listings for these "Limited Edition Runs", where the print was displayed in a manner that made them look much more flimsy, almost like posters. This one is on paper that in my experience I have called "French art paper".
- Piece is in overall "interstellar" condition. Truly. Make a statement with this printers proof, that Patrice only made one of. I have others of these "Breteau - Printers Proofs", and they were created mainly in editions of 5 or 6.
- Item is perfect save for a 1 inch long blemish that is very faint, and is well hidden in one of the darker colors. I've seen other listings for lithographs from this fine artist, where upclose you can see many faint little squigglies here and there. This is not the case with this fine piece. Just the one little squiggly, which I could mitigate with a colored pencil in two seconds, and make it look almost non-existant. Yet, I like things to be as natural as possible, so I leave this for the buyer to decide.
- Image has amazingly bold colors. Undisplayed piece was found in a file stored away forever by previous owner. Item was found in the estate sale of Vickie Belman, an accomplished artist, that got her start in New York City.
- Overall. it looks like it was printed yesterday.
- Lightest of wear on edge of border, away from image, in 1 tiny area.
- 25" x 25" artwork size
- 30"w x 29"t overall.
- I'll ship this in a 12" x 12" x 30" box to reduce curling, and to protect surface.
