HENRY MOORE Reclining Woman with Yellow Background.
Color lithograph, 1982. 372x470 mm; 14 5/8x18 1/2 inches, full margins. Signed and numbered 13/50 in pencil, lower margin. Printed by Curwen Prints, Ltd., London. Published by Raymond Spencer Company, Ltd. for The Henry Moore Foundation, Much Hadham. A very good impression of this scarce lithograph.
We have only found only two other impressions at auction in the past 30 years.
Moore (1898-1986) recycled backgrounds from two other artists' lithographic matrices (the light brown and light gray from a print by Derek Mynott and the gray from a print by Janet Marsh) to combine with his figure of a monumental reclining nude in this lithograph. Cramer 656.
