In 1999, the original Pierside Gallery in Huntington Beach introduced me to Michael Parkes' latest release, "The Riddle". One of two I immediately had framed and continues to be proudly hung in my home. The other I secured in acid-free materials and stored in a protective environment.
That was more than twenty years ago and my appreciation of the skill for producing such a captivating piece of art has never diminished. Recently, I have begun to feel that my unframed "The Riddle" would be best served by being displayed in a home where others could enjoy this piece as much as I have over the years.
The colors have remained as rich and vivid as they were all those years ago. Having never been framed, the integrity of the piece is as close to new as possible. There is also the benefit of not worrying about the frame fitting in with your home's décor. "The Riddle" is a hand pulled stone lithograph which give each piece a slight variation and makes each one unique. This is a lengthy and difficult process that Michael Parkes has abandoned years ago.
As time passes, their limited availability will likely increase his earlier lithographs valuations. All photos presented are of the actual art you will receive.No stock pictures are used. Those galleries that cannot get this piece and will be forced to pay another gallery's asking price. That makes your price, much more expensive. If you are determined to pay even less, I suggest you look into my new listing (coming soon) for purchasing both this "The Riddle" and an unframed"Persepolis" at the same time. As a small extra, I will also include a 8 x 6 inch mini-poster from Steltman of "The Riddle" that is in very fine condition.
