DESCRIPTION
This first edition of this collection of Gerald Scarfe's artwork is one of 250 copies with a specially done lithograph signed by Scarfe, compiling 190 illustrations of pen and ink artwork and photographs of Scarfe's sculptural work. This volume exemplifies Scarfe's vibrant, violent and surreal artistic style, and showcases much of what brought him his acclaim. Scarfe is also famed for his collaborations with Pink Floyd and his role as production designer on the 1997 'Hercules' film.
First edition, with signed lithograph of a caricature of Thatcher, and slipcase. Scarcely found, numbered 244 of 250. With monochrome illustrations throughout, and 15 colour plates collated complete.
