I HAVE IT LISTED AS A REPRODUCTION BUT
COULD VERY WELL BE AN ORIGINAL.
I CANT CHECK THE BOTTOM OF THE PRINT TO LOOK FOR THE ORIGINAL MARKINGS WHICH WOULD HAVE A RAISED ENBOSSED LOGO.
I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE WHOLE THING APART.
THE ART WAS PURCHASED AT AN ESTATE SALE IN LOS ANGELES.
(PLEASE SEE PHOTOS FOR THE MARKINGS I THINK COULD BE ON THIS PRINT)
