Description:

Ellsworth Kelly (American, 1923-2015)

Calla Lilly III, 1983-85, edition of 30 plus proofs, published by Gemini G.E.L., Los Angeles (Axsom, 211; NGA/Gemini, 28.135). Numbered and signed "21/30 Kelly" in pencil l.c., publisher's and copyright dry stamps l.r., identified on a label from The Harcus Gallery, Boston, affixed to the backing. Lithograph on paper, image size 31 3/4 x 7 1/2 in. (80.5 x 19.0 cm),framed.
Condition: Full sheet with extremely subtle water or similar staining to edges of sheet at corner l.r., floated within the frame, not examined out of frame.
Estimate $3,500-5,500

The sheet measures 36 x 25 inches. The frame is constructed with a central stretcher bar that precludes removing the print in its entirety without destroying the frame, but in opening the corner l.r., we can determine that the work is not hinged at the bottom, and is stamped on the verso (see images). The water staining is extremely minor. There are no other visible issues to report.
