DescriptionEn suite with 3 others in the "Green Chateau" series (Hyde Murray collection, 1992.1.4, and 1995.10.9 and 2010.5.5). The four prints were made with a single zinc plate drawn in part with green fingerprint dots made with the artist's hand. These are denser in the upper half of the image and form a green diagonal swathe there. The lower portion of the rectangle has an open area with an irregular organic shape outlined in the lower right. There is a more solid green 'figure' on the left side--an abstract peanut-like shape with two 'legs.'

Green Chateau IV has two colors of gouache, with green in the upper half and red-orange in the lower half.ProvenanceNew York, NY, Mary Ryan Gallery
