Hidden Gallery has highlighted a selection of Marc Chagall prints and posters on its website, placing 'The Flute Player' from 1957 at the centre of a small online presentation of works by the artist. The Bristol gallery describes itself as focused on sought-after limited-edition prints by major 20th- and 21st-century artists, and the Chagall material now listed includes works spanning 1957 to 1969.
'The Flute Player' is a lithograph in colours on wove paper. According to the gallery listing, the sheet measures 23 x 41 cm and the framed work 35 x 51 cm, with a price of £1,150. Hidden’s site also notes that the work has been framed by an in-house team to conservation standards, using archival materials and 99% anti-UV glass, and that the framing is included in the price.
The gallery’s accompanying newsletter framing presents Chagall as an artist whose work draws on folk and religious imagery to create a colourful world of dreamlike figures in magical landscapes. That context is paired with a short run of other Chagall prints available through Hidden, including 'The Ladder' from 1957, 'Hommage to Maïakovski' from 1963 and 'Cirque' from 1969.
Among those works, 'Cirque' is listed as a lithograph on Arches paper measuring 66.7 x 43.2 cm. It is numbered 19 from the edition of 40 and signed and numbered in pencil, with a price of £4,250. 'Hommage to Maïakovski' is described as a lithographic poster in colours on wove paper, sheet size 66 x 48 cm, from an edition of 500 and signed in blue pencil, priced at £3,750. 'The Ladder' is another 1957 lithograph in colours on wove paper, with a sheet size of 23 x 20.5 cm and a framed size of 35 x 32 cm, priced at £900.
Hidden’s page for 'Hommage to Maïakovski' adds one specific note of context: the original lithographic poster was printed to commemorate the life of writer Vladimir Maïakovski with a poetic evening dedicated to his writings on what would have been his 70th birthday. The gallery also states that Maïakovski died in 1930 and was a dear friend of Marc Chagall.
The Chagall group appears on Hidden’s website under its artist pages and works listings rather than as a separate exhibition announcement. The gallery’s newsletter invitation says subscribers can receive early access to new inventory and advance notice about upcoming art fairs, events and special offers, while the gallery itself offers free collection from its workshop in Bristol and worldwide shipping via fully insured specialist art courier.
Hidden’s current Chagall listing therefore combines price, medium, edition information and framing details with a compact view of the artist’s print output across two decades. The clearest present-tense headline from the material is the availability of 'The Flute Player' at £1,150, alongside related works that place Chagall’s colour lithography and poster practice in view on the gallery’s site.
