Lithograph based on Rosenquist’s 1963 painting Tube. Printed on Hodgkinson handmade Wookey Hole paper. Signed by the artist and dated 1972 lower right; numbered 47/75 lower left.
Printed in the same scale as the original painting, Tube features a fragmented car door collaged over a large metallic circle. The gleaming chrome and automobile imagery is characteristic of Rosenquist’s work. Circles recur in the artist’s prints from the late 60s – he was interested in the “circles of confusion”, or the phenomenon of a camera lens being pointed directly at the sun.
