This is one of the hand made kites, that was created by Toledo around 2007, as a charity project for the construction of a clinic and library. It is signed by Toledo on the front. He created most of these kites, with his workshop. A very small number were painted by his own hand. This is one of them. It was acquired directly from the artist's studio, in around 2007, by an associate of our gallery, so it has outstanding provenance. Toledo represented that he painted only a very small number by his own hand, and those are the only ones he was willing to sign on the front. So, this work represents an original work by Toledo, at a fraction of the cost of a comparably sized painting. We guarantee the authenticity. This work is beautifully framed, in a Roma hardwood box, with silk backing. Please inquire for photos of the framing. There is about $1,000 in framing, on this work.
This is one of the larger star kites. It is stunning.
