This exquisite limited edition serigraph by the late Howard Behrens (1933–2014) — one of America’s foremost palette-knife impressionists — captures the vibrant charm and Mediterranean allure of Sausalito, the picturesque coastal enclave just north of San Francisco. Known as the “Monet of the 21st Century,” Behrens spent decades refining a technique that combined bold impasto texture with luminous color, transforming everyday vistas into radiant celebrations of light and form.

Born in Chicago and raised in Washington, D.C., Behrens earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Fine Arts from the University of Maryland. His work is renowned for its expressive palette-knife style and vivid, almost sculptural use of paint, inspired by extensive travels through the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and coastal America. Over his career, Behrens’s art became a symbol of sophisticated leisure and optimism — collected worldwide and exhibited in leading galleries and museums.

In Sausalito Panorama, Behrens’s signature mastery is on full display: pastel cottages and terraced homes cascade down a lush hillside toward a serene marina, their reflections shimmering in turquoise water. The scene radiates the warmth, texture, and joyful vitality that define Behrens’s most beloved works.

Framing Details:
The serigraph is presented in a museum-grade, custom frame designed to enhance and preserve its brilliance with elegance and integrity:
The inner mat is hand-wrapped in fine linen, providing soft texture and depth while maintaining an archival, acid-free environment.
A precision inlaid accent mat, crafted from acid-free, color-balanced stock, subtly draws the eye into the artwork while echoing Behrens’s sunlit palette.
The deep bevel is hand-wrapped in gold, catching ambient light and accentuating the artwork’s dimensional depth.
Intricate hand-sewn gold accent threads line the linen matting, offering a refined shimmer and artisanal detailing.
The outer frame is a 3½-inch wide, gold-finished solid wood moulding, combining timeless craftsmanship with contemporary luxury.
All mounting and backing materials are acid-free and museum-quality, ensuring the long-term protection and preservation of the piece.

This extraordinary presentation transforms the artwork into a centerpiece of fine design — an enduring tribute to Howard Behrens’s luminous vision and artistic legacy.
