Artist Proof companion etchings by Sara-J — Curtain Open & Curtain Closed (2001)

A rare matched pair of original hand-coloured erotic etchings by contemporary artist Sara-J, titled:

* Curtain Open

* Curtain Closed

Both signed and dated ’01 in pencil and marked “Proof” to the lower margin, indicating artist/printer’s proofs rather than standard edition prints.

These works are particularly interesting because they appear to be an earlier variant to the currently available Sara-J editions. The curtain detailing differs noticeably from the versions presently sold through the artist’s website, making these potentially an uncommon early state or alternate colourway/version of the composition.

Details

* Original hand-coloured etchings

* Signed in pencil by the artist

* Dated 2001

* Artist proofs

* Sold as a companion pair

* Approx image size: 22 x 17 cm (visible artwork area)

Condition

Good vintage condition overall. The prints themselves present very well. Frames were added later for protection and display and show some cosmetic wear/age marks, so buyers may wish to reframe to personal taste.

Notes

Current standard editions of “Curtain Closed” retail at approximately €240 individually through Sara-J’s official site. These proof examples differ from the currently marketed versions and are believed to be earlier or alternate variants.

A striking and collectible pair of contemporary erotic figurative works with strong decorative appeal.
