Baptism.

Color screenprint, 1975. 813x1140 mm; 32x45 inches, wide margins. Signed, titled and numbered 37/50 in pencil, lower margin. Laid down, with spotting in the margins. A very good impression with strong and vibrant colors of this monumental print.

The artist's largest print is based on the collage Of the Blues: Carolina Shout from 1974. We have found only one other impression at auction in the past 20 years. Gelburd/Rosenberg 57.
