Lot description

Each is signed in pencil and dated 1981. The four works included in the suite are all numbered 3/50, while World View is numbered 14/50. Published by Donald Morris Gallery Inc., Birmingham, Michigan; each with the blindstamp of the printer Plucked Chicken Press (Will Peterson and Cynthia Archer), each with full margins. "This project, as an act of constructive creation, has at its core a faith in humanity and a faith that when we are united by the arts, the world community is most loving, most sane, and most human. The structures that bind humans through interests, needs, relationships, heritage, intellect, faith, and understanding, are an invisible filigree of connective links, a filigree that embraces innumerable people in the past, present, and future. When our spirit is enlarged, enriched, and enjoyed through connection, it moves quite naturally toward the celebration of that reality. The culmination of connection is celebration in its most transcendent form". - David Barr Provenance: Donald Morris Gallery Inc., Birmingham, Michigan (paper labels affixed to four frames); From a Notable Corporate Collection Detroit, Michigan Dimensions: 5 PCS x H 19.25" W 23.75" Frame Size: H 28.75" W 33"
