Wayne E. Campbell

This is Only a Reality of Special Consensus, ca. 1969

Silkscreen on Arches paper with One Deckled Edge

Pencil signed and numbered 86 from the limited edition of 98 on the front

26 1/2 × 20 3/10 inches

This rarely seen, pencil signed and numbered silkscreen from the late 1960s was done by California-based artist Wayne E. Campbell (who recently exhibited at SFMOMA) during the time that he lived in SOHO Manhattan. This work with his text-based political message - set against a soft pastel baby pink background behind a barbed-wire patterned design: "This is Only a Reality of Special Consensus" - ironic political messaging done decades before before artists like Jenny Holzer became famous for text-based political art. The edition was published by Reese Palley - the flamboyant impresario (self-described as the "merchant to the rich") - and one of the first gallerists to open shop in SOHO, Manhattan.
