Recently deceased, world-renowned artist Ed Moses, created this unique artwork Silkscreen print in 1990 for the California Heritage Museum. The print consists of two attached sheets of paper. The bottom sheet is hand-made Seikishu rice paper.
The top sheet is 100% acid-free rag paper. The image on the top sheet is a collage made from several Japanese newspapers that Ed designed. His similar LA Louver prints used real newspapers that over time self-destructed. A silkscreen print with bold red and black cross-hatching was designed after the two pieces were attached. This unframed piece is signed by the artist, dated and numbered, and each print has his unique “chop” mark on the bottom right-hand corner and Wasserman’s Silkscreen Co. blind stamp.
