this is just a great original piece. I have had a few other arnold hoffman prints in my collection over the years including one that hung in my house for many years. His work is really outstanding and the 2 that I am offering this week are 2 of my favorites. For those not familiar with the artist, I have included his biography below. This might be my favorite of all the works by the artist I have seen. A wonderful abstract rainbow print with the image measuring 21 1/2 x 26 1/2 on complete original sheet measuring 26 x 33 inches. Signed titled and numbered from an edition of 40 in pencil below the image. Outstanding original condition. The only issue at all is a very faint matte box from the original framing. Really a stunning original print.
