Color lithograph, erotic nude, Doris Bloom, Denmark, 1980s

This work dates back to the 1980s and is an original color lithograph—a sophisticated, traditional planographic printing technique that requires each color to be printed separately from a lithographic stone. The artist is the acclaimed South African-born Doris Bloom, who has been based in Denmark since 1976. The piece depicts a sensual, expressive erotic nude. Characteristic of 1980s art, dynamic black contour lines define intertwined human bodies, which merge with vibrant, multicolored patches of pigment. The work is hand-signed in pencil by the artist in the lower-right corner and individually numbered on the left. It comes from a limited edition produced during that period; this is number 86 of 220 copies worldwide, which guarantees its authenticity. A significant feature of this piece is its complete, high-quality framing, executed in Scandinavia. The print is set within a professional passe-partout and housed in a classic, elegant frame with glass. The overall condition is excellent; the piece is clean and ready to be hung on a wall immediately. Dimensions: H 83 cm. W 63 cm. D 2.5 cm. Weight 4.5 kg.
