Collector’s Note This is an original hand-signed lithograph from the early 1990s and not one of the later plate-signed limited editions that became widely available. These early works are characterized by their high print quality, brilliant colors, and markedly stronger collectibility. Since the work has been out of print for many years and James Rizzi passed away in 2011, original hand-signed pieces from this period continue to enjoy strong demand among collectors of Pop Art and modern graphic art. A wonderful opportunity to acquire an authentic and increasingly scarce work by one of the most beloved Pop Art artists of the late 20th century.
