This three color lithograph on Arches paper with deckled edges is pencil signed, dated and numbered from the limited edition of 84.

The "Chosen" artists were, in order of Commandment: Kenny Scharf, Joseph Nechvatal, Gretchen Bender, April Gornik, Robert Kushner, Nancy Spero, Vito Acconci, Jane Dickson, Judy Rifka and Richard Bosman. This lithograph is in excellent condition; unframed with deckled edges so it would look terrific when floated and framed.

Lisa Liebmann, who wrote the introduction to the collection, observed: "...The image has, for most of us, replaced the word..."
