Description

This 6 foot wide screenprint, "Laughing Frog and His Friends in the Golden Age" was originally printed in an edition of 120 on a sheet of paper with gold mylar foil collaged to the surface. As the paper moved due to changes in the relative humidity the foil began to detach, creating bubbled areas and ink loss in some impressions. The edition was withdrawn and another edition of 50 was printed without the foil.
