Peter Kennard appreciation thread, by Sliding on the Walls on Feb 25, 2017 20:34:42 GMT 1, I just wanted to share something with the forum...
After a long search, I've managed to purchase one of my all time favourite pieces of contemporary art directly from Mr Peter Kennard. The piece in question is his classic 1980 Haywain With Cruise Missiles. An Artist's Proof, signed, and dated 1980.
He was an absolute gent to deal with, and after having some studio access issues which protracted the deal slightly he was kind enough to send me another print gratis as a gesture of goodwill.
The 'other print' was another classic image - Union Mask!! The Black Rat Press release no less. He said 'if you don't like it you can always put it up face to the wall!!'
![]() 
He also sent me a newspaper print 'Uncertified Documents' which opened up to a broadsheet poster.
To say I'm happy is an understatement. I am overjoyed!!

And always nice to know that your money is going straight to the horse.

Great pick up and as you say great bloke to deal with. I think yours was the last one he had. Peter also sent me a bunch of his old signed posters, which was a nice surprise.
I would love to know how you are framing it. I was going to go ornate gold frame, but the missus reckons just black box, so post some pics when done please to help me decide.

Peter Kennard appreciation thread, by Ruggs on Feb 28, 2017 0:43:30 GMT 1, I know there have been various 'Haywain with Cruise Missiles' editions released over the years. The ones I know something about is an Eyestorm archival pigment print, edition of 95, released 2004, a Black Rat Press 21 colour screenprint, edition of 75, released 2007, a giclรฉe print, edition of 7 artist's proofs, released 2013 and possibly a Tate edition too. Bit sketchy on the last two. Anyone on here have one of these or maybe shed any light on other editions or just have good, solid info let me know.

I think Ruggs could be on the lookout for one.
