Drawing of a tree to his aunt?
Estate sale
Hi Mary,
Thank you again for bringing your items to Mearto for appraisal. The item presented appears to be lithograph by Raffi Kaiser (Israel, 1931 - 2010) titled "Spaces and Spirit of Israel." The work is one of 21 lithographs presented in a folio, printed in 1982. The print appears to be signed with a couple of inscriptions to the margin. Toward the center reads a dedication,"a Michel avec toute mon amilié" meaning "to Michel with all my friendship." Also inscribed to the print is an edition marking reading, "E.D. amilié," which is very funny, meaning "friendship edition." With that it appears the print was printed specifically for a few friends as gifts.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this work and other comparable lithographs from the folio by Kaiser, taking into consideration the edition and dedication. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
