P01953 UNTITLED PROOF (trial for As Is When) c.1964

Not inscribed
Screenprint, printed at Kelpra Studio, 21 5/8×20 5/8 (55×52.3)
Presented anonymously through the Friends of the Tate 1980

This proof appears to be an uncharacteristically crudely printed version of configurations similar to some used in ‘As Is When’ (op.cit., nos.23–35). The heavy colours on a bright yellow ground are closer to the later portfolio ‘Moonstrips Empire news’ 1967 (op.cit., no.37).
