About this Item
A portfolio of ten lithographs, from an edition consisting of fifty original copies, five Artists' Proofs and ten Hors De Commerce, each print signed by the artist and numbered HC II/X or HC III/X in pencil in the margin, with title page and introduction by Stephen Inggs, in original blue cloth portfolio.
Artists include Jane Alexander, Katherine Bull, Stephen Inggs, William Kentridge, Fritha Langerman, Malcolm Payne, Roderick Sauls, Pippa Skotnes, Dominic Thorburn and Gavin Younge
Notes
Hors De Commerce prints, or HC's as they are called in the industry, are very similar to Artist Proofs except they are only available through the artist directly. They are valued as Artist Proofs, or higher, since they are even more rare. The artist receives these as a gift for allowing the publisher to print his/her images.
Working Proof was a portfolio to commemorate the 3rd Impact International Printmaking Conference held at the Michaelis School of Fine Art in August 2003.
