KAFFEE NR. 2 (COFFEE NR 2). 1972. ONE OF ONLY 50 SIGNED & NUMBERED.

Zurich: Dieter Roth Pictures, 1972
77 x 57cm, Plainographic printing (Stone offset) – printed black on black (two densities of black). The image of the first state (a line drawing by Roth displaying an naked female form) has been deliberately overprinted by a flat black in most places to create an obscurity although due to the printing method the original image can still be seen thanks to the increased blackness of black on black – no examples of the first state are known of and this abstraction / destruction was released in a very small edition of only 50 copies and 5 A.P.s and is hence a very rare Roth work. Fine condition. Reference: Dieter Roth Collected Works Vol 40 / Graphic Works nr 265.
