This poster was produced to promote an exhibition of Marc Chagall print output at the Nice Museum "The Galerie des Ponchettes" on the harbor of the town in 1958. The image is not to be mistaken with the original black and white lithograph that was printed previously by March Chagall himself in 1952. In this case, Mourlot's Master Printer and Chagall's close assistant, Charles Sorlier, reproduced all the colors in this delightful and rare lithographic poster.

Galerie Filali is pleased to collaborate with our personal friend Galerie Mourlot, New York, to present a collection of rare lithographs from legendary Parisian printing house Atelier Mourlot. Founded in Paris in 1852, Atelier Mourlot has been synonymous with fine art lithography for over 150 years. From 1930, under the direction of the founder’s grandson, Fernand Mourlot, leading artists were invited to the studio to collaborate on traditional limestone lithography. For painters like Chagall, the medium provided an exciting new form of expression.

Each individual work of art comes with a Certificate of Provenance, signed, dated, stamped, and numbered by Eric Mourlot. Stored in a clear protective sleeve accompanying your piece, this Certificate of Provenance is recognized by all the major auction houses should you care to resell at any point. This ensures the validity of its origin and its being in the Mourlot archives since its production.
