STUART DAVIS
Detail Study for Cliché.

Color lithograph, 1957. 321x375 mm; 12 5/8x14 3/4 inches, wide margins, with the printing registration marks center left and right edges of the sheet. Signed and numbered 10/40 in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression of this extremely scarce, important American abstract lithograph.

According to Myers, "The color lithograph Detail Study for Cliché of 1957 was based on the configuration that appears in the lower half of two paintings dating to 1955, Cliché (Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York) and Ready to Wear (The Art Institute of Chicago)." This subject is one of only two color lithographs created by the artist. Cole/Myers 24.
