Hapshash and the Coloured Coat signed Pink Floyd CIA vs. UFO Poster
Artist: Hapshash and the Coloured Coat silkscreen Artist's Proof signed by Nigel Waymouth 22.5 x 35 inches
The Hapshash posters were printed in extremely small runs, then pasted all over town, leaving few examples remaining. The majority of these are in the hands of museums and a few astute collectors. In the late 1990's a new exhibition poster and six of the original posters were released as fine art silkscreens by the San Francisco Art Lab under the supervision of Michael and Nigel. Utilizing the finest inks and papers and produced in strictly limited, signed and numbered editions, these timeless images were brought to life as never before. We were fortunate to be able to acquire the last remaining pieces from these editions and offer them for sale here.
he idea of CIA vs. UFO came to Michael and Nigel as representing the conflict between the repressive forces of the establishment and the new counterculture. The winged female and the rocky island she is pulling through space represents a type of UFO or fantasy island, from which various flying machines are emerging. They were particularly impressed at the time by the assertion of famous architect and visionary Buckminster Fuller that we should view our Planet Earth as a space craft.
Web Images cannot adequately display the sheen of the metallic silver ink used in the printing of this beautiful fine art silkscreen reprint.
All items are originals in near mint or better condition unless otherwise indicated.
