Description
The artist created a maquette for the Moon Landing serigraph. From this maquette and under the supervision of Alan Lurie, screens were cut and then proofs were pulled. The artist corrected the first proof by hand, changing the colors and a number of other items. A second proof was pulled and the entire edition was then pulled one color at a time under the supervision of Alan Lurie at the Chicago Serigraph Workshop. Each print thereafter embossed. In addition, silver foil was applied by hot stamping.
Each print in the edition was inspected and initialed by hand in pencil by Loewy in Palm Springs, California, February 1979.
