Originally there were 12 different artworks in this series by Richard Lindner of which this is the title piece. Signed in pencil 'R Lindner' (lower right) This is such a striking and stylish work of art that jumps out of the paper and becomes a real statement piece. Being large and with a black background this artwork has an immediate power. The retro use of purples, red, blues and yellows juxtaposed against each other screams 1970s cool.

In good condition, the colours are very vibrant as this has been kept in a folio since printing. There is a minor creases to lower left, possibly retouch to crease lower left. Small surface scratch to near upper edge Newly framed in limed wood.
