A fantastic and rivetting work by American/ California artist Ed Moses titled "Ikuru Speak-No".
This work is on wove and Japanese paper (The print was made with two attached sheets of paper. The bottom sheet is hand-made Seikishu rice paper). The limited edition color screenprint collage was printed by Jeff Wasserman with a blind stamp in the lower corner and published by the Los Angeles County Museum (LACMA).
The work is hand pencil signed, dated (1990), and numbered (34/250) by Moses.
Provenance: from the UCLA Medical Center Art Collection (there appear to be collection accession numbers on the paper frame backing).
We have seen this work displayed both vertically (which appears how this piece was exhibited) and horizontally so have provided images of both views.

1996 – Honorary Ph.D., Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles, CA
1993 – Long Beach City College Hall of Fame Inductee
