Description

Original lithograph with screenprinting, signed AP and dedicated: For James.

A coloured variation of D3.20, scarce. Illustrated on pg.135 of Recurring Themes, Paolozzi.

For these prints Paolozzi used transparent film to float the images on top of each other. His work was part of a project to celebrate the centenary of the completion of the spire of Cologne Cathedral. He records: I created a kind of blueprint for my ideal museum- the museum has one example of everything that is wonderful and has meaning – an aeroplane, railway engine, a large model of a pig, Einstein, computers, the Beaubourg. (Paolozzi 1983).

Small crease top centre of image. We have never seen this print anywhere before.
