| Description | From the 'Calcium Light Night' series. Edition of 200.
This series of nine prints is dedicated to the composer Charles Ives. Paolozzi's work had been compared to Ives' in that his work was considered to be the 'first extensive musical application of the collage technique'. The titles of the prints in the series are taken from the titles of Ives' compositions.
The series was begun while Paolozzi was in Berlin in 1974 and printed at Advanced Graphics between 1974 and 1976. It was to be published by Propyläen Verlag, Berlin, but Paolozzi took over the whole edition and published it himself. |
