2 Aquatints from Edition 27. 44 x 35.5 cm.
Acquired from Flowers East in 2002 and in my collection since then.
Hello Philip,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. The items presented appear to be aquatints with chine collé by John McLean (British; 1939 - 2019) titled "Vault" and "Dawn," dated 2001. Both prints appear to be signed and editioned by the artist to the lower margin. McLean was a painter, printmaker and sculptor best known for his abstract compositions in bright expressive colors. Often times, McLeans's prints include a blind stamp indicating which print shop the prints were produced at. He was known to create limited edition runs, not exceeding 50 impressions of a single image.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of these images and other similar works by McLean. Please note that asking or retail prices vary. Additionally, the earlier the impression within the edition, the better the print would perform in a secondary market. Thank you and please take care.
