I’m not sure, Michelle. I would assume that if it was signed and dated 1964 that it would be worth a good amount of money, but I’m mostly clueless about fine art markets.

He made a run of 300 of these to distribute at a Leo Castelli Gallery opening, but apparently he only gave a few away that evening as there are numerous lithos signed and dated 1965, 1966 and 1967. I have one that was signed and dated 1964 in pencil. Is there any significance to the early dating or are they all the same??

Nice post, but there is one mistake. The building that is depicted in the paint is actually the Panteon of Rome(panteon meaning the Temple of all Gods, in Greek) and the design of this building was considered by Michelangelo inhuman and heavenly (¨I need an ideal of hyper-aesthetic purity¨). This might help to understand better the ideas behind the painting.

I liked this post and it brings to mind my favorite quote by Dali….
“What is the difference between Dali and a crazy man? Dali is not crazy.”
