À propos de l'œuvre
"Raquel Welch - ONE MILLION YEARS BC" version jaune,dated 2012,is documented as Hand-printed 4-color silkscreen and giclée print on thick 100% cotton paper,signed,dated,and marked A/P (artist's proof),measuring 70 × 50 cm. The corresponding main image shows four repeated female figures arranged across a bright yellow ground,rendered in black,pink,blue and white with a poster-like rhythm. The composition is organised through the relationship between the central motif and the surrounding field,with the support remaining visibly relevant to the final appearance. Colour,outline,printed information,spray marks,drips,repeated forms or handwritten interventions are described only where they can be seen in the supplied image.
The material description indicates that the work was produced through hand-printed 4-color silkscreen and giclée print on thick 100% cotton paper,signed,dated,and marked a/p (artist's proof). This technique helps explain the distinction between mechanically transferred areas and direct manual intervention,where present. The image supplied is sufficient to describe the overall composition,palette and principal motifs,but it should not be treated as confirmation of details that require a close-up or reverse view. The main image alone does not permit a definitive confirmation of signature,date or reverse-side inscriptions. The manifest records the edition information as édition unique en version jaune ,test d'atelier. Any information concerning the back,labels,stamps,certificate,exact placement of a signature or the physical condition derives from the written documentation rather than from an assumed visual reading. No additional narrative elements have been introduced beyond the visible image and the manifest.
Avis de l'expert
From a cataloguing perspective,"Raquel Welch - ONE MILLION YEARS BC" version jaune is best positioned within printmaking and the translation of street-derived imagery into a controlled,editioned format. Its assessment should begin with the verified object type: Hand-printed 4-color silkscreen and giclée print on thick 100% cotton paper,signed,dated,and marked A/P (artist's proof),dated 2012,and a work documented as édition unique en version jaune ,test d'atelier. These factors determine how the work should be compared with other examples. An original drawing,hand-finished proof,prototype,unique variant or sculpture should not be evaluated according to the same criteria as a regular numbered edition,even when the imagery is closely related.
The work’s relevance lies in the connection between its physical manufacture and the visual codes of urban culture. Where the support carries pre-existing information,where the surface includes aerosol,marker,drips or hand-applied colour,or where a printed image is individually modified,these characteristics contribute to its specificity. Edition size,numbering,signature and dating are therefore material catalogue points rather than promotional attributes. No certificate is confirmed by the manifest unless separately supplied. No separate provenance statement is included in the manifest. Condition should be assessed directly,with particular attention to paper edges,folds,abrasions,mounting,surface cracking,frame contact and any difference between the written dimensions and the object itself. No conclusion regarding price,auction performance,rarity or future value is made from the available documentation.
