A second and final run doubled the original edition of 300, here number 281 i.e. part of the first run. Apparently publisher ICA had second and third thoughts when it came to a final edition number. It first decided to extend the edition from 300 to 500. Then another 100 were added and presented as a final second run of 300 copies. Below you will find a screen shot of their website made on 7th of December 2019 and a screen shot d.d. 4 March 2020.

JONATHAN MONK, Another copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay-1965, 2015
14.5 x 10.3 cm
offset, 12 parts
edition 40 + 10 AP
each set is signed with initials, numbered
condition: splendid, although several cards may have some light postal scuffing
published by More Publishers, Brussels, Belgium
inv.JMon 125-pr

 

This is a series of 12 postcards, after a copy of Richard Hamilton’s original hand colored postcard ‘Whitley Bay’. Each postcard is a reproduction of the previous card and was sent by mail monthly in 2015.

The first card shows a reproduction of the original hand coloured card by Hamilton, hence titled ‘A copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay, 1965’. To make a copy has been pushed by Jonathan Monk to an extreme by making copies of copies. Each following card (entitled ‘Another copy of Richard Hamilton Whitley Bay 1965’) is reproduced from the previous one. Due to reproduction processes in printeries a printer’s boarder trimming of a 3 mm margin (bleed) each time was applied in order to get a clean cut of the print during each print run. By repeating this chopping process 12 times, each reproduction of the previous card has become more and more a closer close up.

WJM KOK, Off Color (Crimson), 2019

Posted on by

WJM KOK, Off Color (Crimson), 2019
7 x 7 cm
oil paint on canvas, wooden mini-easel; ca 11 x 8 x 8 cm
open series, unique works
signed, dated
€ 222,- plus € 12,- registered mail Track & Trace


When ordered, colour may differ from the colour shown above.

 

Striking in the work of Wjm Kok is his interest in open or closed series, i.e. limited in number as a pure consequence of a conceived system. He wants to make series that are not a goal in itself, but rather a result of a method to keep as far away as possible from an emotional choice. He likes to make work that is not hierarchical and that also does not refer to a pronounced uniqueness.

In the open series ‘Off Color’, Wjm Kok mixes a color directly on the canvas with the help of seven ad randem tufts of paint squeezed from the paint tube. The color is not easily predictable and often also produces a surprising effect for him during the making.

ANITA DI BIANCO, Corrections and Clarifications, 2001-2019

published by the artist

Corrections and Clarifications is an ongoing series of newspapers, each time containing an edited compilation of corrections ad randomly collected from daily international news. Each issue covering merely a list of corrections page after page.
In the paper issued in December 2016 (edition of 200) the colophon reads as follows: ‘Corrections and Clarifications is an ongoing publication, an intermittent compilation of daily revisions, retractions, re-wordings, distinctions and apologies to print news from September 2001 to the present. A reverse-chronological cataloging of lapses in naming and classification, of tangled catchphrases, detectable patterns of mis-speech and inflection, distraction, connotation and enumeration.’

ANNAÏK LOU PITTILOUD, White Between The Darlings, 2014 [leporello postcards]

ANNAÏK LOU PITTILOUD, White Between The Darlings, 2014
folded: 11 x 15 x 0.5 cm
leporello
numbered, signed
edition 200, here nr 47/200
published by Barbara Seiler Gallery, Zurich, Switzerland

Annaïk Lou Pittiloud collects postcards, mainly bought at museum shops and kept as a kind of darlings. She exhibits them as pairs following logics that draw comparisons between different postcard reproductions of the same artwork. The pairs are mounted in a passe-partout with a little space in between.
In this edition Annaïk Lou Pittiloud created a distance between a reproduction of an art work and its description on the backside of the postcard by skipping the reproduced art work completely. Instead she replaced the front of the postcard with a description of her gallery exhibition at Barbara Seiler Gallery, i.e. “White Between The Darlings”.
Edition is available at Barbara Seiler Gallery, Zurich, Switzerland.
