Notes from DaVic Gallery: This Limited Edition silkscreen prints titled “Rave’s Flight” by Eugene Alfred was published in May, 2006. It was hand produced by the screen-printing process. It is the only limited edition printing of this design. The artist was involved in the printmaking, checking the stencils and signing each copy in the edition: 200 signed and numbered copies, 20 artist’s proofs, and 1 printer’s proof. 3 Hors de Commerce copies exist and are defaced and all other trial copies have been destroyed and the printing stencils obliterated. Unique turquoise background giving the image almost a 3D perception.
