THE PREMIER COLLECTOR’S PIECE: NUMBER 1 of 200
Up for sale is an investment-grade archival print by the legendary British polymath Billy Childish. This specific work was released in 2017 through the esteemed L-13 Light Industrial Workshop (Steve Lowe).
Why this piece is rare:
This is Edition Number 1 of 200. In the world of art collecting, the first print in an edition holds a significant premium and is the most sought-after by serious collectors. It is hand-signed by Childish with his iconic gallows symbol and numbered 1/200 in his preferred green fountain pen ink.
Subject & Aesthetic:
"Poplars and Moon" (often referred to as Lombardy Poplars) showcases Childish’s rhythmic, vertical landscape style. It draws clear inspiration from Post-Impressionist masters like Van Gogh, featuring towering trees under a delicate crescent moon.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: BILLY CHILDISH (b. 1959)
Billy Childish (born Steven John Hamper) is one of the most prolific and influential figures in British contemporary art, music, and literature.
The "Genius Clause": After working as an apprentice stonemason, Childish was accepted into St. Martin’s School of Art in 1978 under a "Genius Clause," only to be famously expelled in 1981 for his refusal to conform to institutional norms.
The Stuckist Movement: In 1999, he co-founded Stuckism, an international art movement promoting figurative painting and authentic expression over the cynicism of conceptual art.
Legacy & Influence: A major influence on artists like Tracey Emin and musicians like Kurt Cobain and Jack White, his work is held in major collections worldwide, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A). He is currently represented by top-tier galleries like Lehmann Maupin (NY/London) and neugerriemschneider (Berlin).
