PALM BEACH.

PALM BEACH, Fla. -- In celebration of 40 years of making lithographs, artist Edna Hibel, 86 not long ago released "Soaring American Spirit" an original stone lithograph of an American eagle with pair young eagles in the background and a remarque forward the bottom margin of a lad waving an American flag. "This dramatic image is same appropriate for the times and is exceedingly moving" said Andy Plotkin, ceo of Edna Hibel Studio. "In addition, this release marks Hibel's 40th year of creating original stone lithography."

The patriotic image is being released with sum of two units other limited-edition lithographs thematically closer to what Hibel is known for: "Golden Dreams," a mother holding her child in her arms, and "Next to My Heart," showing a mother lying upon her back in a field of flowers and snuggling her sleeping child nearest to her heart.

These lithographs bring Hibel's total multicolor lithograph account to 592. During her nearest visit to her studio in Zurich this summer Hibel will create eight more lithographs to bring her total production to 600

"While other artists, of that kind as Dali, have created more stone lithographs, no single has created as many multicolor lithographs as Edna Hibel," noted Plotkin, "so the creation of 600 lithographs is an unprecedent artistic milestone since the invention of the stone lithography medium 208 years ago--a remarkable achievement, I believe"

The image of the 600th lithograph is not known at the significance but it will measure at least 40 by the agency of 30 inches and be entitled "The Epic." For information, call 800-275-3426
