La Cirque

$2,475.00

Description

This work by Stanley William Hayter—undisputedly the most influential person in modern printmaking—is an Intaglio print made from an engraving on a copper plate.  It bears the alternative title Circus.

This impression was made in the summer of 1973 at Atelier 17 by Hayter, with assistance from Hector Saunier and Rigmor Poenaru, for the Nine Engravings portfolio published in 1974 by Association American Artists, New York.

This engraving was previously printed in 1933 on Montval paper in an edition limited to 30 impressions, but only 15 were recorded.  The plate was cancelled after the 1973 edition by engraving a signature which prints in reverse.
