The Roundhouse Exhibition of 1976 |
In the summer of 1976, we staged a retrospective of Rick Griffin's work at the Roundhouse, in London's Camden Town. The
exhibition rapidly became an event, a "must see" for artists, celebrities and the public. We were transported back
to the height of the psychedelic era, mesmerised by the work and presence of the great artist, and bathed in Grateful Dead
sounds set against a fluid light show backdrop. Scheduled to run from the 11th of August until the 21st, the show eventually
ran for three weeks, with people regularly queuing for admission. The exhibition met with critical acclaim and subsequently
went to Sunderland, in the North East of England, and Amsterdam, Holland.
For the exhibition Rick brought along four printing plates;
Aoxomoxoa,
Hog Farm,
Quicksilver and
Can-a-blis.
No expense was spared in the production of 3,000 copies of each print, numbered and labelled "European Limited Edition". Rick oversaw the printing process by James Haworth of Bristol, England, using quality
inks and high grade paper, and signed the first 100 copies of each.
We have recently rediscovered in our archives, artwork from the 1976 exhibition, which we are now offering for sale. This
presents a unique opportunity to acquire some of the most sought after artwork of the 60's and 70's. As the offer is strictly
limited, enquiries will be dealt with on a first come, first served basis. All items will be supplied with a certificate of
authenticity.
