METALLIZATION OF A DREAM

METALLIZATION OF A DREAM

1963 Sir Eduardo Paolozzi (1924 − 2005)

This print was one of the first coloured screenprints Paolozzi made. Based on earlier drawings and collages, it is also closely related to the imagery of his film of 1960-62, The History of Nothing. He worked with the master printer, Chris Prater at the Kelpra Studio, on the work. It was printed in an edition of 40 impressions using the same screens throughout but with different colour combinations so that each numbered print was in fact a unique work.

Glossary (2)

  • Edition

    All copies of a book, print, portfolio, sculpture, etc., issued or produced at one time or from a single set of type. Printed works can be made in an edition of between one and many thousands of copies. With most printing techniques the plate or screen will become worn if very many prints are made, so to maintain quality (and exclusivity) editions of original prints are usually kept below one hundred copies and normally average between thirty and fifty copies. Prints made up of several different plates can be extremely complicated and time-consuming to edition, so in these cases editions are kept low for practical reasons. Sculptural editions are a set of cast sculptures taken from the same mould or master. These editions are usually much lower, consisting of no more than six casts. Though each cast in an edition might have a lower value than a unique piece, it may be a more effective way of offsetting costs of an expensive process such as bronze casting.

  • Film

    A transparent, flexible plastic material, usually of cellulose acetate or polyester, on which light-sensitive emulsion is coated, or on which an image can be formed by various transfer processes.
