This lithograph hangs on my bedroom wall. I saw it and loved it immediately! I had no clue who Lurcat was....not for 20 years.
I bought it many years ago (before the Euro currency) in a second hand shop in Maastricht. I think I paid just a few bucks for it. There is another exactly like this one for sale right now in Venlo. Opening bid amount in the first web link is 149,00 Euro...auction ends on November 8th. No bids yet, but we'll see. I'm curious to see how high it goes!
Thanks for looking!
