Henk Kuijpers - 1 Silkscreen - Franka - Zozolala - 1994

Screen print Zozolala

Zozolala, in hindsight, was at the halfway point. This is the festive no. 75 of the 150 that would appear. I had seen posting sites where whole layers of old posters were torn off. A kind of graphic archaeology. Here Franka highlights the title Zozolala from 7UP, ZOO, COLA and LAMBRETTA. In the other hand the champagne. And Blad as Zozola is now, in hindsight, a memorial to a slowly disappearing comic culture. A group of comic shops provided for their fairly large group of regular customers their own comic information leaflet. Printing as a medium, a thriving shop culture and reader loyalty from another time. Here, in 1994 just past the peak, but actually no one knows that yet. The plate was also printed as a screen print for clients, black with grayscale, measuring 50 by 35 cm.

The winner of this lot also receives, produced in an edition of 150 unnumbered, a special color print in A4 format, signed by Henk Kuijpers. The original of this print is also in this auction (see Lot 150).
