Published by Vinalhaven Press, Vinalhaven, Maine; Printed by Anthony Kirk, Vinalhaven Press, Vinalhaven, Maine
The is a unique proof of Robert Indiana's important 1986 etching, aquatint, drypoint and stencil on Arches paper entitled "American Dream". The words read simply "EAT/DIE/HUG/ERR" - expressing basic humanistic activities - and recalling Indiana's 1963 etching "ERR 123" - both being some of the few etchings Robert Indiana did in his career. This print is a Unique proof - the Vinalhaven Proof, (publishers proof) from Robert Indiana's press in Vinalhaven Maine where he moved to after leaving the New York art scene. It is annotated in pencil VP 1/1 (Vinalhaven Proof, 1 of 1.) When Robert Indiana set up Vinalhaven press to print the works that he personally felt were important to make. This was one of them.
This proof is aside from the regular edition of only 10 - an incredibly rare and elusive regular edition. A most desirable Robert Indiana; a one-of-a kind piece for true Robert Indiana graphic collectors.
Very Good Condition; the work has been previously framed, so there are remnants of mounting hinges on the back of sheet which will frame out
