Robert Motherwell

Ulysses: eighteen prints

Robert Motherwell's *Ulysses: Eighteen Prints* is a significant portfolio of limited-edition works published by Arion Press in San Francisco, each signed with the artist's initials and numbered 24/40 in pencil, with an additional five artist's proofs produced. The suite reflects Motherwell's deeply literary sensibilities and his lifelong engagement with modernist texts, drawing a visual connection to James Joyce's landmark novel. This example is presented without the original box and is lacking four prints as catalogued in Engberg and Banach (nos. 446, 462, 464, and 465), with the remaining works individually framed.
