LEE KRASNER
Special Gold.

Color lithograph printed in golden orange on Arches, 1969. 570x765 mm; 22 1/2x30 inches (sheet), full margins. Signed, inscribed "a" and numbered XII/XV in pencil, lower right. Printed by Mourlot Press, New York. Published by Marlborough Graphics, New York. From Long Lines for Lee Krasner. A very good impression of this scarce lithograph.

According to Williams, working on the original three lithograph stones for Primary Series, "Krasner made nine new and different designs, three to each color, published as a set, entitled Long Lines for Lee Krasner, the title of a poem by Richard Howard. The set was signed and numbered in Roman numerals I to XV and marked 'a' to 'i' in each portfolio," (Williams, The Prints of Lee Krasner, Print Quarterly, December, 2001, page 412). Landau 533 (Primary Series); Williams 9.
