Lot 1232		de Lempicka, Tamara. Adam and Eve. (1898-1980) Polish born Art Deco painter. 45½ x 28¾ inch limited edition estate serigraph, 164/195, framed to an overall size of 60 x 43¼ inches. This work, circa 1932, represents the artist's original take on a classical subject and bears the hypnotic elegance of a fine Renaissance masterpiece.

A Certificate of Authenticity signed by de Lempicka's daughter, Baroness Kizette de Lempicka, is included. There is a marvelous story behind this piece. It seems that the female model, a favorite of Lempicka's, paused to eat an apple. The artist went to the window and, seeing a handsome French policemen below on the street, called to him to come up. Being a handsome French policeman, he came up and agreed to pose. The result was this wonderful "Adam and Eve." The two models, we are told, fell in love and got married.
