Karel Appel - Christian Dotremont - Duo Pour Pinceau et Crayon - Au vieux vélo

I am offering a print signed copy by Dotremont, from the private collection of Henk van der Vet. This print is therefore almost the same as the numbered copy, but notes of the making process are still visible on this copy and double lines are visible, creating a very special copy. Because this proof could not be used for the edition, Appel cut a piece from the leaf at the top. Very special collector's item. However, the printer Henk van der Vet did not throw this copy away and Appel went unsigned into the folder of the printer himself. They have always been dark and neatly preserved.
Work is incl. blind stamps and printer's stamp visible in the handmade 250 grams Simili Japon paper that are present on all copies. See photo 7, 8 & 9. 2 of these stamps are clearly visible in the paper by means of a lamp.
The serigraphs belonged to the linen-bound folder called Duo Pour Pinceau et Crayon by Karel Appel and Christian Dotremont.
The folder consisted of 6 accompanying serigraphs, 3 photographs and accompanying title page and accompanying 2-page text by Pierre Alechinsky.
Issue 1982 - 90 copies + some ea (epreuve d'artiste)
Extra information: For this series, Dotremont worked in sombre black, and Appel in striking colours. The works together formed six joint serigraphs. Dotremont ultimately never hand-signed these copies because he died just before the publication. Dotremont's signature and title were printed on the issued copies. Appel signed, dated and numbered the complete edition.
