<p>A screenprint from a portfolio of six double-sided screenprints printed on woodpulp board, laminated on both sides with white chromolux card. Published in an edition of 150, of which this portfolio is number seventy. The screenprints were printed in collaboration with the artist in Stuttgart and Korntal, Germany with printers, Hans Peter Haas, Stuttgart, and Staid &amp; Mayer, Korntal, assembled by Rudolf Rieser and published by the Petersburg Press, London. The structural condition of the prints is characteristic of their construction on woodpulp laminate board; each print has inherent weaknesses and will deteriorate further.</p><p>The images on the recto were all initially printed with the Piccadilly image in four colour, off-set lithography. These were then over-printed in screenprint using a range of one to twenty-six colours from stencils drawn by the artist. The verso of each print has a vignette image of the original Piccadilly scene printed in four colour, offset lithography. All six prints are based on the same image of Piccadilly Circus.</p><p>The image is made from a twenty-three colour screenprint applied over a silver printed background. A technically complex print with areas of thick black impasto ink which has developed a craquelure pattern over the surface. The image is in good condition, The print is in good condition, although numerous fingerprints, scuffs and scratches are visible along the border of the silver printed base. The woodpulp board extends beyond the laminated printed surface along the left edge but stops short of the laminated card on the other three sides. The printed face is vulnerable without the support of the board and several areas have been crushed as a result, noticeably in the top right corner and top edge, centre. The board is delaminating along the top left edge. The image on the verso is generally in good condition. It is printed in black ink with a developed craquelure pattern on the surface. The print is signed and dated with the edition number inscribed below the image. </p><p>The portfolio comprises of a box made from brown corrugated board, wrapped in brown card with a colour lithograph image of Piccadilly printed on the lid. The base and wrapping are held together by clear pressure sensitive tape and staples along the base. The tape has subsequently failed and caused staining to the brown card. The box is inscribed on the verso, 'Dieter Roth 6 Piccadillies, Petersburg Press'. A wooden and wire handle is attached with string to the side.</p><p>Calvin Winner<br/>March 1998<br/></p>
