Moonstrip Empire News; and General Dynamic F.U.N.
Created by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, these two iconic print portfolios — *Moonstrip Empire News* and *General Dynamic F.U.N.* — exemplify the artist's pioneering contribution to British Pop Art, combining bold imagery drawn from mass media, technology, and consumer culture. Each set is presented as a rare Artist's Proof, signed and annotated in pencil by Paolozzi himself, from editions of just 50 proofs against full runs of 500 and 350 respectively, and published by the influential Editions Alecto, London, whose inkstamp appears on the reverse. Both portfolios remain in generally good condition and are housed in their original formed acrylic boxes, adding a distinctly modern, sculptural quality to their presentation.
