Anthony Fry

The Dreamer

"The Dreamer" is a colored etching with carborundum created by Anthony Fry in 1994, representing a limited artist's proof from an edition of 30 that was professionally printed by Jack Shirreff at 107 Workshop in Wiltshire. The work measures 352 by 386 millimeters and is printed on wove paper to the full sheet edges, signed and dated in pencil with the notation 'A.P.2' indicating its status as the second artist's proof. This impression exemplifies the technical sophistication of late twentieth century British printmaking through its combination of etching and carborundum techniques applied in multiple colors.
