Meltdown Portfolio, 1989

The complete set of four woodcuts in colors, on Korean Kozo paper, with full margins, 37 1/4 x 26 1/2 in. (94.6 x 67.3 cm), signed, titled, dated `1989' and numbered `WKSHP 1/2' in pecil on the reverse (a workshop copy, the edition was 35 and 10 artist's proofs in Roman numerals), published by Peter Blum Edition, New York, all in very good condition, contained in original paper folder with title and artist's name printed on the front in gray.

Including: Mondrian's Tableau No II; Kirchner's Potsdam Square, Berlin; a Monet Rouen Cathedral and Duchamp's L.H.O.O.Q. (mustached Mona Lisa) This series of lush woodcuts resulted from the use of computer technology to reduce images of four paintings to their essential colors, which were then translated into square woodblocks of equal size.
