About the Item

Rare and highly collectible 1966 abstract color lithograph by acclaimed American Modernist artist Lewis Lee Tilley (1921–2005). Pencil signed and numbered 4/5, this limited-edition print is a striking example of mid-century American abstraction, showcasing Tilley’s masterful use of color theory, geometric form, and dynamic Modernist composition. This original lithograph features an energetic interplay of vibrant color fields and abstract linear movement, creating a visually sophisticated composition that embodies the spirit of 1960s American Modernism. Tilley’s refined balance of rhythm, structure, and expressive color gives the work strong visual impact while maintaining an elegant architectural quality ideal for contemporary, minimalist, and mid-century modern interiors. Produced in an extremely limited edition of only five impressions, this rare signed lithograph offers exceptional collector appeal and investment potential. The scarcity of the edition, combined with Tilley’s growing recognition among collectors of postwar American abstraction and regional Modernism, makes this an outstanding acquisition for serious collectors and design-focused buyers alike. Lewis Lee Tilley studied under renowned artist Boardman Robinson at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and earned advanced degrees from both the University of Georgia and Instituto Allende in Mexico. Beyond painting and printmaking, Tilley worked as an influential art editor, writer, educator, and filmmaker whose work appeared in major publications including Architectural Forum, American Home, and Leica Photography. Professionally framed and ready to display, this original 1960s lithograph makes a bold statement in gallery-inspired spaces, modern homes, corporate collections, and curated art interiors. Its strong graphic quality and timeless abstract composition pair beautifully with mid-century furniture, Bauhaus-inspired decor, contemporary architecture, and sophisticated modern design aesthetics.
