Berlin Interior.

Photogravure, etching, engraving, aquatint and roulette on Rives BFK, 1979. 494x693 mm; 19 1/2x27 1/4 inches, full margins. Signed and numbered 9/100 in pencil, lower right. Printed by the artist and Aldo Crommelynck at Atelier Crommelynck, Paris. Published by Waddington Graphics, London.

This work depicts the apartment of René Block (born 1942), the noted art dealer and publisher who celebrated printmaking. Starting with collaged photographs, Hamilton (1922-2011) used photogravure to tranfer the image on to the plate and embellished the work with intaglio techniques. Lullin 109.
