I acquired this work of art at an estate auction a few weeks ago. I have searched all over the web and can't find out anything about it. Can you help? It is signed Marc Chagall at the bottom. I took a picture of it and posted it on my website.
I appreciate any information. Thanks!

Yes it is called the Dance and is a lithograph from a painting. Marc Chagall was opposed to this work of art being litho'ed and actually halted production. Therefore it is estimated that only 1200 litho prints exist today. It is an out of commision print, worth 500-800 bucks EASY. I looked online and there is a gallery that is offering one for $1500.00
Great find, just curious, what did you pay for it?

It looks like one of his Lithographs. Parrish books published a book called: The Lithographers of Marc Chagall. If it is his, it will be catalogued in a raisonne.

Here is the actual oil on canvas, a little history behind the work, the location of the original murals, and a reference to its blue companion piece.
