Apollo 12, 1969, "Helping Hands" Lithograph by Alan Bean (1985, Greenwich Workshop, No. AP7/50, 31x22.5") The lithograph is pencil-signed and numbered by the artist at the lower right. This multicolor limited edition lithograph depicts both the artist, Alan Bean and mission commander, Pete Conrad, on the lunar surface. In addition the artist has inscribed the lithograph in black ink: "To the Hoffman's - This brings back a flood of warm and exciting memories of working with my friend, Pete Conrad, on the Ocean of Storms. I'm proud to share them with you." This was the first of Bean's lithographs produced by the Greenwich Workshop. It was one of his first works as a professional and one of the few paintings he keeps hanging on his studio wall. Very attractive and scarce.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
