Invader Hypnosis & Scream Test Prints, by MGK1 on Jul 22, 2022 15:15:48 GMT 1, Hard to let go of these but needs must.
I worked for Lazarides Gallery for many years and was involved in the printing of Invader's Scream and Hypnosis prints. We made test prints experimenting with different papers before we settled on the paper stock used for the editions.
The master printer at the time gave me a few of these test prints for my own collection.
I have an Invader and Hypnosis. Neither are signed or numbered. They obviously both came from the original woodblock used for the main edition (an image of the printing is attached below).
A tough one to value so I'm accepting offers - I know these are worth a fraction of what the signed & numbered editions are worth.
I can include a payslip from my time working at Laz and a written letter detailing the provenance. I have an image of all the paper variations (there were 3 or 4 tested) which I can also include as provenance.
I'm based in London but happy to ship with Flight Logistics.
