A hand-pulled relief print from an edition of only thirteen, pencil-signed and dated by the artist in 1982 — the kind of bold graphic monochrome that anchors a gallery wall without competing with anything else in the room. The checkerboard boot motif reads as both Pop and postmodern, making it an easy fit for mid-century, eclectic, or minimalist interiors. Original signed prints in editions this small rarely come to market, and it arrives ready to hang in its existing black frame and cream mat.
