Please note that shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.  Creighton-Davis will attempt to facilitate shipping whenever possible. However some items require specialized crating and shipping procedures which may only be offered by outside vendors.




Note: An early graphic project by the pop related sculptor and artist who explored chaotic subject matter with traditional artistic compositional techniques. The color etching here uses Chamberlains's well known color harmonies of red with blue undertones in conjunction with blue with red undertones to create an aesthetically pleasing composition without regard to the subject matter.
The first portfolio from the edition was well cared for by an apparently discerning collector.
