a rare group of twelve digital print restorations of polaroid photographs, 2010, the edition was 2 (with one reserved for the Richard Hamilton Archive), all on wove paper, each mounted and framed to the artists specification in a clear acrylic box frame, each overall size 182 x 132 mm (7 1/8 x 5 1/4 in) This rare group of works was produced on the occasion of the artist's solo exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery 3 March - 25th April 2010. Over the course of his career Hamilton always carried a small polaroid camera with him, upon meeting other artists he would ask them to take a photograph of him with it. Largely unseen during his lifetime other than those reproduced in the book Polaroid Portraits, Hamilton decided to digitally restore the original polaroid photographs and present them en masse, before being sold individually. With only two impressions of each image in existence (one reserved exclusively for the artist's archive), these are some of the rarest of Hamilton's printmaking, this is the first occasion that any works from the series have appeared at auction.
