NUMBERED FROM AN EDITION OF 50. https://unoriginalsins.co.uk/product/contrat-pour-un-corps-project-no-2-1972-numbered-from-an-edition-of-50/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=contrat-pour-un-corps-project-no-2-1972-numbered-from-an-edition-of-50 Thu, 16 Dec 2021 23:26:59 +0000 https://unoriginalsins.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=46001 Paris: Galerie Stadler, 1972
59 x 39cm black on white offset lithograph with an image of a skeleton posed in vestments. Journiac created this work after publicly advertising for living people to sign a contract with him to donate their skeletons for sculptural works. Three different versions were available depending on the wealth of the donor - this (number 2) would be displayed in clothes and painted white. 
The prints are each signed and numbered by Journiac from an edition of 50 examples. Strangely different paper stocks were used throughout the edition - here the paper is matt coated. 
Priced as a bargain due to duplication.

Three separate silkscreens each 59 x 39cm two are black on thick paper and one is black on a highly reflective mirror paper. The three images of a skeleton posed differently in each print (based on a gold lacquered human skeleton the artist used to create a unique similarly titled sculpture). 
The prints are each signed and numbered by Journiac (although this like many of the sets do not have the same number from the edition on each - here ). 
There is a tiny corner missing on the bottom left of one print else these are VG+ although there is a slight sheen of surface water damage on the reflective silver if looked at from an angle.
A genuine rarity by an artist whose works are rarely encountered in part because he did not create that much. 
 
PRICE IS FOR ALL THREE PRINTS AS A SET.
