The Davison Art Center 1973 (The Critic Laughs 1973) by Richard Hamilton

This poster was produced in 1973 to promote Richard Hamilton’s exhibition at the Davison Art Center, Wesleyan University, Middletown, Connecticut, USA. The image reproduces ‘The Critic Laughs’, Hamilton’s 1968 assemblage featuring a comically oversized set of teeth cast in sugar, mounted onto the neck of the artist’s Braun electric toothbrush (he was a fan of Braun design director Dieter Rams.)  This poster is not previously owned and has been stored in the archives of Petersburg Press since its publication.
