I have a piece of art that I aquired and need help in trying to ID it. It is done by the artist Michel Delacrouix titled PLACE DE FURTSENBERG, It is done on what appears to be watercolor paper I know it is not a watercolor because the way other watercolors I have look. But yet it kind of looks like a watercolor any Idea what I have

It's called a serigraph. Serigraphy is a fine art, color stencil printmaking process in which special paint is forced through a fine screen onto the paper beneath. Areas which do not print are blocked in each of the stencil screens. A sheet of high quality, archival paper is first inserted under the screen and special paint poured along the edge of the frame. A squeegee is then pulled from back to front, producing a direct transfer of the image from screen to paper. A separate stencil is required for each color in each serigraph.

Hope this helps you.

what is the difference between a serigraph and a lithograph?

Is this a test? LOL, kidding...

A lithograph was developed from etching sheets of stone and printing from the stone plates, kind of like a wood block print.

A serigraph is a silkscreen print where the color oozes through a cloth mesh onto the print.

Hope that helps clarify it a bit for you.
