Edna Hibel Signed Stone Lithograph “Experimental Group” 5/24 — Three Musicians, Gold Frame

Annihilate the landfill, one wall at a time.

This is a genuine Edna Hibel signed stone lithograph — not a poster, not a reproduction — from the hand of one of Boston’s most celebrated figural artists, who began pulling stone lithographs in the city in 1966 before moving to an atelier in Zurich.  Three women in soft Renaissance-inflected dress hold musical instruments in a misty, luminous palette of powder blue, warm sand, and ivory; the composition is intimate and quietly majestic. Inscribed in the lower left “Experimental group 5/24” — meaning this is number 5 of only 24 experimental/trial proofs produced before the main edition — and signed by Hibel in the lower right, it comes ready to hang in a carved gilt frame with a cream linen mat liner.

The D’Beetle Difference

• Genuine Named-Artist Collectible: Edna Hibel (1917–2014) was a Boston-born artist whose works have achieved realized auction prices up to $9,999, and she remains one of the most recognized American figural lithographers of the 20th century — this is the real thing, with signature and edition inscription.

• Rare “Experimental Group” Designation: Trial proofs and experimental edition pulls are produced in tiny quantities before the main print run; a group of only 24 makes this among the rarest states of any Hibel print, meaningful to both art lovers and collectors.

• Statement Scale, Ready to Hang: The substantial carved gilt frame and linen liner are in good vintage condition — this lands on the wall and stays there, the kind of piece that makes a Cambridge dining room, study, or bedroom feel genuinely curated.
