Hello, this item is a limited-edition lithograph titled City Rooftops by Linda Adato, numbered 39/75 and dated 1984. Known for her architectural sensitivity and clean, contemplative compositions, Adato’s work often focuses on urban geometry and light, with strong influences from both printmaking and realism traditions. This piece—likely part of her Bowery Portfolio series—presents segmented vignettes of New York rooftops rendered with precision, warmth, and quietude. The large format (56 x 20 inches framed) enhances its visual impact and positions it as a strong decorative and collectible print.
Linda Adato’s works are held in the collections of institutions such as the Achenbach Foundation and the New York Public Library, and she remains a respected figure within American printmaking circles. Though secondary market transactions for her works are modest, signed and numbered lithographs from the 1980s in good condition generally sell in the $400–$700 USD range.
