The item up for auction is a limited-edition, unframed, original lithograph by artist Russell Chatham. The image is 34 inches by 45 inches with beautiful hand-torn edges.   This piece is signed and dated 1985.  This print is one of five printer's proofs from the original limited edition.  The edition was 275 original art prints, 25 artist's proofs and 5 printer's proofs. This print comes from the Charles Matson Collection and is no longer available on the primary market. This auction is for the final remaining proof in the collection.

The Charles Matson Collection: Charles Matson, a master printmaker who worked closely with dozens of prominent American and international artists, amassed a collection of hundreds of original works.  Prints, books and paintings have been carefully stored in archival flat files since the original editions were created. 

The print will be wrapped, rolled and packaged inside an impact- and water-proof tube, then shipped fully insured. 

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an original work by an important living artist. 


Please note that when multiple proofs in our collection differ only by number, (e.g., proof number 1 of 5, to proof number 2 of 5), we do not photograph and list them separately and you may receive a proof with a different number than pictured in the photographs.
