PATRICK CAULFIELD (British 1936-2005) A PRINT, "Pink Jug," 1981-1982, screenprint on paper, signed and numbered 29/80 L/R in pencil. 30" x 23 1/2" Note: Pink Jug was designed by the British artist Patrick Caulfield in London in 1981. As with all of his prints, Caulfield initially composed the work in the form of an acrylic painting. It was printed in 1982 at Kelpra Studio, a fine art print workshop in London, on white, heavy-weight, machine-woven paper using serigraph inks, which may have been oil-based. Colour was applied at a uniform thickness across the composition. It was published within an edition of eighty by Waddington Graphics, London, in 1982, although the edition number of this particular print is not known. The work is float-mounted on museum board using paper hinges and has been framed for display by Tate. The critic Mel Gooding has written that the 'simple, schematic and direct' style of Caulfield's prints from the early 1980s represented a shift from the highly complex compositions in his prints and paintings of the mid-to-late 1970s (such as Still Life Ingredients 1976, Estate of Patrick Caulfield, London; Caulfield and Gooding 1998, p.14). Pink Jug is one of a group of four screenprints made by Caulfield in 1981-2, all of which depict jugs in the same stylized manner From the Tate Collection website Provenance: Estate of David E. Brauer, Houston, Texas.
