Lot Note:
Bearden experimented with editioned collages in his Ritual Bayou series of 1971, in which he created collages out of photo-lithographs of his previous works, including from his 1971 exhibition Romare Bearden: The Prevalence of Ritual at the Museum of Modern Art. However, Bearden’s process was very laborious, and it is unlikely that he completed the full intended edition of 75.
