    Eduardo Paolozzi
    Eduardo Paolozzi
    Scottish , 1924 - 2005
    Stay up to date with this artist
    Born in Scotland to Italian parents, Paolozzi attended evening classes at the Edinburgh College of Art and studied at St. Martin’s School of Art, later transferring to London’s Slade School of Art, where he graduated in 1947. He moved to Paris for three years where he became involved in Dadaism and Surrealism. In 1950, Paolozzi returned to London, quickly becoming a leading member of the Independent Group.

    A significant member of the Group, Paolozzi greatly influenced the development of Pop Art. He emerged fully onto the Pop Art scene in 1962 with his abstract, robot-like figures such as Four Towers and Solo, but of all his work his screenprints are said to have had the largest impact on Pop Art. He taught all over the world as guest professor and lecturer, and was knighted in 1988. Eduardo Paolozzi died in 2005.
    About the work
    About the Work

    Original screenprint.
    From Paolozzi's sought after Bunk suite.
    Printed in an edition of 100.
    Published by Snail Chemicals 1972.

    Each piece for the Bunk series were hand-torn, creased, and adhered to boards in various colours, making each set a little unique.

    The piece will come with a copy of the signed and numbered justification page, which is dedicated 'for Ken'.

    Long before it was published as a series of silk-screen prints Bunk had played a leading role in the post-war history of British art. For the collages from which these prints were made were some of the many images Eduardo Paolozzi showed at the first meeting of the Independent Group at the ICA in 1952.
    Bunk occupies a crucial position in Paolozzi's own development. It is the strongest link between his past and present.
    Frank Whitford 1972

    The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

    Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

    There is no other gallery like Goldmark. I'm always amazed at both the stock they hold and their ability to regularly source really quite special pieces of art. That, with their friendly, knowledgeable & utterly unpretentious style makes them a delight to visit & to buy from.

    Their delivery service is 100% reliable and the breadth of work displayed on their website pretty amazing. Above all, unlike other such dealers, I have never been under any pressure to buy. I recommend you give them a try.

    We first visited Goldmark approximately 6 years ago and immediately liked the informality compared to previous gallery experiences. It’s a great place to start or build on your collection. Everyone at Goldmark is very friendly, knowledgeable and will give you as much or as little time as you wish.

    We have bought prints and pots from Goldmark over many years and our house is the richer for the collections we have built up. The framing and delivery service are faultless.
