Jerry Garcia  Press Proof 1st Ed. 8 Prints " Grateful Dead COA DB RARE XL Large

Description

Short BIO of DB Artworks, -- My brother Vince was much more to Jerry than just his Art Publisher.  They were also very close friends. Phil Lesh acknowledged his gratitude for how well my brother  and his family cared for Jerry in his book " Searching for the Sound"..    Vince and his family occasionally  lived with Jerry over the years .Everything I'm selling was actually produced and edited , prior to printing, by Jerry himself,                                          "DURING HIS LIFETIME"  I believe a lifetime print is superior because Jerry scrutinized the proofs so carefully before he gave his final approval for them to be printed.   We experimented with different archival papers in different print runs, producing some very high-end pieces  in Japan, using Toppan.  Toppan is one of the worlds most highly respected printing establishments!  >>                   I hope this sheds some light on where these prints were made and by whom and why they are truly authentic, having come directly from my personal collection. They have my provenance as the ART PUBLISHER ..       -- picture of me with Jerry on the deck of his Tiburon condo.                                                  >>> I am getting older and its time to let go of some of my treasures and share this great art with Jerry's fans. . My price are kept low because I want many of you to be able to afford Art that Jerry loved and created himself during his lifetime.                                                                                                                     >>Thank You                                                                                                      >> David Dibiase                                                                                                                  >> Former Vice President                                                                                                    >> DB Artworks                                this artwork is a press proof. It was created during Jerry's lifetime, and published by DB Artworks. Jerry personally supervised and approved the final proofs before he would allow the printing of this image. Jerry was very exacting and demanded that the colors of his original paintings be faithfully represented before he gave his final approval for these limited edition prints to be published. This piece is from the original printing run of these images, a lifetime print, all plate signed, in it's pure unaltered state meeting the high standards Jerry Garcia demanded for his published artwork. This is a very rare piece and a must-have for any serious collector of Jerry Garcia art,,  this is a very rare large press proof that was run off the original printing plates with eight images on this  40x26 in. heavy paper. This is the one of a kind piece that any  collector would want. Picture of me and Jerry Garcia at his Marin house. There are several ways you could frame this two pieces of plexiglasses probably the best, Gyford standoff systems has all hardware to mount this in the plexiglass which they have in UV. They have a wall-mounted kit or a ceiling to floor wire suspension kits that would be ideal.
