ZAO Wou-Ki - Etching No. 210

This original hand etching and aquatint in colours is hand signed in pencil by the artist in Chinese and Pinyin at the lower right margin. It is also dated in pencil next to the signature ‘70 (1970). It is inscribed in pencil "E.A.”, at the lower left margin. Our impression is one of 10 “épreuve d’artiste” [artist’s proofs] aside from the standard edition of 99. This work was printed and published by Atelier Lacourière et Frélaut, Paris in 1970 in a limited edition of only 99 hand signed and numbered impressions. There were a further 10 artist’s proofs. The paper bears the Arches watermark in the right margin.
