Richard Hamilton "ADONIS IN Y-FRONTS (L. 52)"


MEASUREMENTS

606 by 814mm; 23 7/8 by 32 in

DESCRIPTION

Screenprint in colours, 1963, signed and dated in pencil, numbered 35/40, printed by Kelpra Studio, London, published by the artist, on wove paper, with full margins, in good condition apart from a vertical repaired tear at upper right edge of sheet and at left edge of sheet under the elbow, slight paper discoloration, a horizontal printers crease (?) in abdomen, the verso with handling creases, slight surface dirt, paper discoloration and remains of hinges

CATALOGUE NOTE

This powerful work marks Hamilton’s return to printmaking in the early sixties after a five year hiatus and is the first screenprint produced by the artist. The work is after the painting of the same title executed a year earlier.

Adonis in Y-fronts reflects Hamilton’s technique of exploiting sources drawn from the imagery of mass consumerism. The main source is taken from an advertisement for Potenza Chest expanders found in a bodybuilding magazine, the stripes on the torso from a Lucky Strike advertisement and the figure’s chest from a photograph of Praxitele’s Hermes found in Life Magazine.

Michael Hutchence Kylie Minogue Fax


This here is a fax that Michael has written and sent to Kylie, whom it seems is somewhere in Los Angeles. The transaction report says it was faxed at 12.41 on Wednesday the 19th of September, 1990. On the A4 sized piece of paper, MIchael has written ROOM 806 TO KYLIE MINOGUE GOOD MORNING DAYS TO GO TILL !! and signed it adding kisses, hugs and a love heart with an arrow through it. The paper is from the Sebel Town House, a legendary hotel where the majority of international touring bands stayed over the years. The fax is in good nick except for a couple of creases where it has been folded. Comes with a transaction report showing the time it was sent. I have a similar, yet raunchier fax that I will keep, yet this real slice of history could be yours.
