Finally found: José Parlá prints, by stjohn on Feb 13, 2008 12:53:39 GMT 1, After months of searching for Parlá prints, I have come across a gallery in the States selling very rare prints!

I am not sure, but these prints (there are only 25) are possibly the very first ever produced by him. They date back to 2005 when he did a show at 222gallery in Philadelphia called "Memory Document".

The link is here:

www.222gallery.com/catalog/category.aspx?cat_id=85

This info is from my Cert of Authenticity:

pal•imp•sest (plmp-sst) n.
A manuscript, that has been written on more than once, with the earlier writing incompletely erased and often legible.
Literal graffiti, Parla’s signature script is scrawled over and becomes one with a halftone of a typical urban skyline, an image of anywhere. Created in collaboration with Coeur Noir Specialty Printers of Brooklyn, this edition was intended to be a reflection on the larger scale paintings and multi-media works presented in Parla’s one-man show at Philadelphia’s 222gallery in the winter of 2005. The print, on specially treated Bockingford 140# paper is a 3-color letterpress, numbered and signed in a series of 25.

They are USD700 plus packing and shipping. For those in the US that is OK, but for us in the UK, that adds a bit though (USD550) as they ship them flat. That makes them roughly about £625.

You can also see pics of the exhibition if you go to the main page, click exhibitions and scroll across.

Good luck if you are interested.
