Lithograph Title: "The End" 66.5 x 93.5 cm (26.2 x 36.8 in) with signature in pencil 1991
I bought it at an auction house in Santa monica CA--It has been exhibited in several museums including LACMA a few years ago.
Dear Sascha,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.
The presented object appears to be a lithograph in colors on paper with the measurements of 66,5 x 93. 5 cm. The title of this lithograph is "The End" which is written in black letters in front of a blue-greyish background. It was made by Ed RUSCHA (1937) and is signed in pencil, dated (19)91, and has the edition of 28/50.
Works by this artist and this motif or print were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 15.000 to 25.000 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
An artwork of such high potential value requires further authentication research. This estimate is provided on the condition of authenticity.
With kind regards,
George
