Sale 2460 - Old Master Through Modern Prints, November 2, 2017

ongoing artistic collaboration with the master-printer Charles Sorlier of the Atelier Mourlot, Paris. Though Chagall made lithographs as early as the 1920s, his lithographic work blossomed from the 1950s onward, under the guidance of Sorlier. Sorlier became so familiar with Chagall’s work (and Chagall relied on Sorlier’s judgment to such an extent) that Sorlier created a number of prints in a style “after” Chagall, as interpretive designs of Chagall’s original paintings and gouaches (see lots 482 and 484). Sorlier 96. [15,000/20,000]
