Color monotype on cream wove paper, 1976. 505x603 mm; 20x23 3/4 inches, full margins. Signed, dated and dedicated in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression.
The dedicatee is the art dealer Brooke Alexander who, with his then wife Carolyn, founded his eponymously-named New York gallery in 1968. The gallery began publishing limited edition prints soon after and since its inception has published more than 1500 editions, including many works by Motherwell (1915-1991).
A similar color monotype to the current work sold at Christie's, New York, May 10, 1994, lot 619.
