Beschreibung

Abyssinia by David Tremlett. Silk screen in black printed on heavy hand made wove paper. Signed and numbered 59/100 by artist in pencil. The sheet has some very light foxing which will not show up on photograph, otherwise very good. Sheet size 55 x 75 cm (21.75 x 29.5 inches)David Tremlett (born 1945, St Austell, Cornwall) is best known for his wall drawings, most of which are temporary, and for conceptual works which are fragile and unconventional. He has also made large drawings on paper, expressing his response to a particular place or to something he has seen. Tremlett is internationally renowned, and was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1992. This print (from an edition of 100) was published by the Serpentine Gallery on the occasion of Tremlett's solo exhibition in 1989. The truncated image of the central letters from the word 'Abyssinia' demonstrates a use of word as image that is characteristic of conceptual art. This print was the first ever limited edition release by Serpentine. This print can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum Collection and can still be purchased via the Serpentine Gallery.
