Stanley HAYTER Ceiling  (1981)

Original etching in colours. Signed SW Hayter in pencil, dated (19)81 and titled Ceiling. Artists Proof annotated E from the limited edition of 75. Printed by the artist with Hector Saunier and published by the artist. Referenced in Black & Moorhead The Prints of Stanley William Hayter: A Complete Catalogue, 414

In very good condition with light signs of handling and some slight rippling at sheet edges. The right margin has a few small marks, most likely ink from the printing process plus one tiny foxing mark. This print will frame up perfectly.

Ceiling is an abstraction of the interior of Hayter's studio (in Paris), which had a very high ceiling and tall window. This large and vibrant limited edition print is a slight departure but beautiful example of Hayter's later work.
