Rare 1955 ANGELO SAVELLI Abstract Expressionist ABEX Signed Lithograph

Description: ORIGINAL ANGELO SAVELLI (1911-1995) ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST 1955 LIMITED EDITION SIGNED LITHOGRAPH This is just a great original print. I was lucky enough to acquire an incredible collection of c1950-60s Abstract Expressionist work from a dealer who acquired part of the estate of the former Tiber Press founder. Many are rare and very limited editions and some virtually none of them have ever come to market. I acquired 3 different ABEX prints by important 20th Century artist Angelo Savelli. For those not familiar with the artist, his biography is listed below. This is a scarce original lithograph. Image measures about 18 1/2 x 24 inches on complete original sheet measuring 20 x 26 inches. This one is signed in pencil below the image. It is not numbered. I did have a couple numbered editions of this print but this one was never numbered so I am guessing that it is from the prints done before the final edition. Stunning original work. Image is in outstanding as printed condition. Margins show some discoloration on the sides and some minor handling creases and slight edge bumps. These would all be covered up with matte and frame. Print is unframed. If you collect Savelli's work, check my store for the 2 other prints of his I am also offering. Prints are all stored and will be shipped in a tube.

Savelli accepts and moves to Pennsylvania. He supervises all the activities of the students – who consider him a most charismatic figure – giving them practical help in their working choices.
