Period Paper has acquired an rare collection of original lithographs by L'Atelier Mourlot from 1965. This collection was limited to 1000 copies, unnumbered, on Velin d'Arches. Extraordinary in their production, color saturation, and subject matter, this collection includes some of the most important modern masters works of the era. This collection was curated by the Redfern Gallery in London in collaboration with Mourlot, in 1965. The Redfern Gallery is one of London's longest established commercial galleries and was founded in 1923. The comments made by the gallery of this collection in 1965 included how indebted they were to Fernand Mourlot who made the selection of these lithographs, and produced them for this exhibit, and 'gave so much thought and energy to the details of the preparation.' Also quoted about this collection, in 1965 by Dillon Ripley, of the Smithsonian Institution, 'The unfailing quality of his (Fernand Mourlot) work has commanded the respect of Museums, collectors, and most of all, the artists themselves. Every product of his workshop bears the mark of Mourlot's discipline and craft and can truly be called the ideal collaboration between artist and artisan.'

This piece was illustrated by Giacometti, Alberto. There is no visible artist signature.
