ONE WEEK ONLY SALE AT 40% "Untitled III" is a work that displays James Hansen's intense colors and shapes of his abstract and surrealist style. This print made with etching and aquatints with hand-coloring on Arches paper pops with the illusion of three dimensions set against a muted background of esoteric shapes and symbols. The print is 32-3/4 x 25-3/4 inches and is signed and numbered from an edition of 30 by the artist. Numbered edition may not necessarily be number 20 as there are multiple prints in the possession of Collected Detroit. James Hansen was born in 1951 in New Haven, Connecticut and spent most of his artistic career in Provincetown, Massachusetts where he befriended and worked with Paul Bowen...

Numbered edition may not necessarily be number 17 as there are multiple prints in the possession of Collected Detroit...
