About the Item

Unique mid century modern abstract limited edition serigraph titled "Poor Butterfly" by Madrid-based artist Mil Lubroth (American, 1925-2004). Lubroth uses a layering technique to build the fragmented form of the butterfly in neutral earth-tones, black and grey. Her serigraph “Poor Butterfly” was exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum’s 13th Biennial National Print Exhibition in 1962. Signed "Mil Lubroth" lower right. Numbered 30/50 lower left and titled center. Displayed in a grey mat and metal frame with plexiglass. Image window: 19"H x 26"W. Paper size: 23.5"H x 32"W. Madrid artist Mil Lubroth started life as Millie Schleifer, star pupil at New York's La Guardia High School of Music and Art. After obtaining a B.A. from Southern Cal, an M.A. from Kansas State, and studying with de Kooning and Albers at Black Mountain College, she became a Fullbright Scholar destined for Vienna who later settled in Madrid. She was the first North American to exhibit at the prestigious Ateneo Cultural Center in Madrid and has since shown her work steadily in Madrid, Seville, Granada, Barcelona, Burgos and other Spanish and European cities, as well as in the U.S. Among influences, she names Klee, Rauschenberg, Twombly and Kitaj.
