Limited Edition Floral Abstract Print By M Sharp 1982 Appraisal

Limited Edition Floral Abstract Print by M. Sharp (1982)

The item is a framed fine art print, likely a serigraph or lithograph, featuring a vibrant floral bouquet centrally positioned against a geometric, abstract background. The print is housed within a dark, possibly wooden, frame that appears to have a slight beveled edge or simple profile. Inside the frame is a wide, off-white mat board, which creates space between the artwork and the frame, enhancing the visual appeal and protecting the print. The artwork itself is characterized by a central cluster of flowers, predominantly in shades of pink, peach, and reddish-brown for the petals, with greens and teals forming the leaves and stems. The style of the flowers is somewhat impressionistic or abstract, with defined color blocks rather than smooth gradients, suggesting a layered printing process. Behind the bouquet, the background features a warm, light tan or beige color. Overlaid on this background are prominent geometric shapes: large, grey vertical and horizontal bars forming a grid-like pattern, and lighter pink rectangular blocks interspersing with these grey elements. There's also a subtle, light blue or teal geometric motif, possibly resembling a circuit board pattern, that seems to emanate from or surround the floral arrangement, blending into the other background elements. The condition of the print appears good, with no immediately visible tears, creases, or significant discoloration. The colors seem rich and unfaded. The mat board is clean and crisp. Given the typical appearance of fine art prints with a numerical indication, this is likely a limited edition print. The visible text at the bottom left reads “T.L. #2/100,” indicating this is the 2nd print in an edition of 100. To the right, “'82'” is visible, suggesting the artwork was created in 1982. Further right, '©' is visible, followed by an illegible name possibly 'M. SHARP'. The craftsmanship suggests a professional production, with clear registration of colors and sharp lines where intended, indicative of a quality printmaking process.
