As a tribute to Ben Shahn, Calder created this original lithographic poster. Ben Shahn, a Lithuanian-born American artist, was a close friend of Calder's, and the two were part of a tight group of writers and artists in New York after World War II. This print is an example of a two-dimensional work where Calder, just as he would in one of his mobiles, gives a sense that the shapes are randomly arranged in space by chance.

Each individual work of art comes with a Certificate of Provenance, signed, dated, stamped, and numbered by Eric Mourlot. Stored in a clear protective sleeve accompanying your piece, this Certificate of Provenance is recognized by all the major auction houses should you care to resell at any point. This ensures the validity of its origin and its being in the Mourlot archives since its production.
