ONE OF ONLY 20 PORTFOLIOS. https://unoriginalsins.co.uk/product/photo-documentary-series-occupation-theory-one-of-only-20-portfolios/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=photo-documentary-series-occupation-theory-one-of-only-20-portfolios Thu, 02 Oct 2025 18:27:00 +0000 https://unoriginalsins.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=2596 London: The Acquarium, 2004
37 x 2.3cm rubber stamped and printed brown envelope (sealed and slit open as issued) content of 5 high quality photographic inkjet prints, of what initially appear to be appropriated images from the second world war of Nazi soldiers but on closer inspection aspects of Star Wars iconography can be seen (the stormtrooper is on the back of a horned beast - sorry we are not geeky enough to know the name of the steed but it is the one killed and eviscerated by Hans Solo at the beginning of the second film to save Luke's life from the cold). In a number of the other prints an At-At (hah see we know the name of that machine much to our eternal shame) is seen attacking a tank or helping the German charge. One of ONLY 20 such hand made publications created for this small exhibition at a gallery that long championed the urban interventionists before the big money came in. By the way - is Star Wars not the most over-rated film of all time: poor editing, repetitive plotting and pretty lame acting? Please write in and correct us if you wish, it would be good to see if anyone reads these things. Fine.

Four separate screenprints in four colour variants. Uniformly 60 x 52cm, each printed in black, grey and one additional colour (respectively either red, green, orange or blue).
A series of smoking bunny prints (Kozik's signature image) where the bunny has expired (of lung cancer perhaps) and has keeled over still with a smoking tabby in its mouth and with an American Flag /Medevac background.
Kozik is probably best known nowadays for his work in the lucrative, commercial plastic toy market - where his smoking bunnies are one of the best known works - but prior to that he had a successful career as a concert poster and album cover designer for the US Punk / Grunge scene and his work is often shown in galleries alongside the more popular aspects of his practice.
Each print is signed and numbered from a limitation of only 50 copies. All near mint.
Price for entire portfolio although we may be willing to split the group up - do enquire

16 x 22.5cm, hand rubber stamped and printed brown manilla envelope content of 13 different sheets - some are original prints by Kozik (including his Star Wars works and bunnies) and others are information sheets. The first sheet is an original lithographic work by Kozik of a Hitler Bunny which he has crumpled and tipped onto a thick card.  This was one of only 50 such exhibition catalogues which may also be seen as an artist's book. Fine. Scarce.

Full colour and full page images throughout. Fine.
