Jacques and Berthe Lipchitz by Amedeo Modigliani

Hi all
I came across this rolled up with some rock & roll posters! I looked it up and they are for sale everywhere - from $19.95 to several hundred dollars.
Mine has some text on the bottom of each corner (both in a unusual light colored ink) - can anyone tell me anything about this printing of it?
PS - The last one is on the back edge
Thanks!

AMEDEO CLEMENTE MODIGLIANI
(July 12, 1884 - January 24, 1920)

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (July 12, 1884 - January 24, 1920) was an Italian artist of Jewish heritage, practicing both painting and sculpture, who pursued his career for the most part in France. Modigliani was born in Livorno (historically referred to in English as Leghorn), in Northwestern Italy and began his artistic studies in Italy before moving to Paris in 1906.

Influenced by the artists in his circle of friends and associates, by a range of genres and art movements, and by primitive art, Modigliani's oeuvre was nonetheless unique and idiosyncratic

He died in Paris of tubercular meningitis, exacerbated by poverty, overworking, and an excessive use of alcohol and narcotics, at the age of 35. (From Wikipedia)

I looked at the site and there are 520 painting listed as his Complete Works...but your piece is not shown? What do you make of that?

 

Also from the website above:
Modigliani died penniless and destitute-managing only one solo exhibition in his life and giving his work away in exchange for meals in restaurants. Since his death his reputation has soared. Nine novels, a play, a documentary and three feature films have been devoted to his life. (From Wikipedia)

A very interesting read, as well as a very interesting individual...what a story.


Braun was just the printer but the company started in 1847 according to their website and the picture you have was painted in 1916 and then printed in 1977 in Paris...I just think it is all kind of fascinating.
