Patrick Caulfield

Some Poems of Jules Laforgue

Created in response to the poetry of French Symbolist Jules Laforgue, this limited edition artist's book by Patrick Caulfield showcases his signature bold graphic style through a series of prints. Numbered 85/200 and signed in pencil, this example from the Petersberg Press publication represents a refined collaboration between literary and visual art. The prints remain in excellent condition and are presented in their original grey leather binding, folder, and slipcase, making this a highly collectible example of Caulfield's printmaking practice.

Medium
all signed and numbered 85/200 in pencil on the reverse (there were also 20 artist's proofs), also signed, numbered and annotated `Edition A' in pencil on the colophon of the book, published by Petersberg Press, London, occasional soiling on the covers of the bound book, otherwise in very good condition, the prints loose, in excellent condition, contained in original grey leather binding, folder and slipcase (wear and staining on the spine and edges of the case).
