this is one of the best & famous Burton Morris work. And a very early work (early 2000). Also with a very low edition quantity of only 15 . This was in the years he really boost his famousness; because of his several PopART - Burton Morris and Romero Britto were called the "princes of Popart at that time. BM was also one of the Oscar Poster artists!
Imagine you being a Painter; and to be chosen by Absolut Vodka to make an artwork. Yr really in the Champions League.

I have with Burton Morris also at the New York Art expo - for the first time in New York . For me this was the 1st introduction with Burton Morris. Of course I knew pop art (as from Warhol and Haring and Lichtenstein). But I never had the experience with the modern pop art (like from Britto, burton morris, Rizzi and Fazzino) . Like many Pop artists if they had time - they would make a very nice drawing - in a book or sign a book ( he made me some beautiful drawings I have been buying a lot of Burton Morris directly later on I will sell a few taxi canvases !
-> so.. here is my delivering my promise
provenance: the real collectors of Burton Morris have been buying from Galerie-F there BM art early 2005 - 2006 etc serigraphs ; incredibly cheap ... € 100-150 each for each serigraph. Now approx 1000-1500 each.
I was able to buy a konvolut BM from GalerieF, 2 originals, and Hey taxi serigraphs (on paper and on canvas) , some signed ,some not signed. the one I am now selling is from that Konvolut.
The artwork is in a very good condition. some minor preparations, very minor defects ; the background is that they were not rolled properly at some stage (not with me)
