Titled folder included; titled page not included. Published and printed in 1967 by Ives-Sillman Inc., with the publisher's dry stamp in the lower left corner. Sheet size: 17 x 17 inches, with a dry stamp in the lower left corner. This is one of the most beautiful (and finest) serigraph ever done of a Mondrian painting, with "Broadway Boogie Woogie" being his last, and most famous painting. The use of yellow was inspired by New York’s Yellow taxis, and its vibrancy was inspired both the "Boogie Woogie" dance and New York City's streets. Compared to his earlier work, it is divided into many more squares.

Ives-Sillman, Inc., was one of few publishers to produce serigraph prints in monograph portfolios. For two decades, 1958 until Ives’s death in 1978, Norman Ives and Sewell Sillman published monograph portfolios of noted artist Josef Albers, Jean Dubuffet, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Piet Mondrian, Diter Rot, and others. less
