This is one of the larger, hand made kites, that were created by Toledo around 2010, as a charity project for the local library and clinic construction. It is signed by Toledo on the front. Most of these kites were created by his workshop. A very small number were painted by his hand. This is one of them. It was acquired directly from the artist's studio, in around 2012, by an associate of our gallery, hence 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. These hand painted kites are absolutely amazing. They are stunning works of art.
