Marc Chagall (1887-1985) - El río Verde

Excellent specimen of the famous monograph dedicated to Marc Chagall, written by the essayist André Pieyre de Mandiargues and published by the prestigious Maeght Éditeur firm in Paris in 1974.

The main attraction of this collectible volume is that it contains inside the original two-page color lithograph titled “Le fleuve vert.” This graphic work was specially created by Marc Chagall for this monograph and printed under his supervision in the legendary studios of Fernand Mourlot in Paris. As it is an original lithograph conceived specifically to be integrated into the edition, the piece features the original central fold of the edition. It is fully cataloged in international reference manuals under Mourlot No. 728 and Cramer No. 95. The lot includes the complete book, serving as unequivocal proof of provenance and authenticity for the lithograph.

The lithograph is professionally matted.
Dimensions: 28 x 56 cm for the print and 49 x 78 cm for the wooden frame with mat.”}
