• With glazed layers of color and subtly created halftones, Richard Hamilton masterfully explores the possibilities of screen printing.
• Pop meets concept: a film still becomes a complex work of art about image production, memory, and perception.
• The negative printing process reinterprets Bing Crosby as a surreal, nostalgically fractured icon.
• Other copies from the edition are in major museum collections, including the Tate, London, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
