A Unique 145 year-old (but brand NEW) Collage Series
Announcing a totally new series of remarkable collage compositions created from extremely rare vintage steel plate engravings from the 1860s, ’70s, ’80s and 1890s. These artworks are between 120 to 150 years old. Though Winston himself isn’t quite that old (yet), he has managed to resurrect new compositions from images that have waited nearly a century and a half to go under his knife.
Expanding on his work with engraving-based collages which he produced over 25 years ago in the mid-1980s, Winston has only recently assembled these new works in the spirit of the Surrealist masters such as Hannah Hoch and Max Ernst, who began assembling old photos and engravings back in the 1910s and 1920s.
The originals themselves are as fragile as mummified butterfly wings and the difficulty associated with their assembly is indescribably painstaking.
Producing giclée prints of this new series grants collectors a rare opportunity to own these newly created compositions that reflect the traditions began nearly a century ago by the founding Surrealists.
The following prints are available as limited edition (of 100) archival prints on Somerset Double-Weight paper, signed and numbered for only $99 each (plus shipping).
All prints fit onto a 12″ x 18″ sheet of paper. “Live image” size varies.
