An incredibly striking original screenprint dated 1975. It is number 73 of a total of only 75 that were made. The screen print appears to be a collaboration and has two signatures in pencil. The first is Birkin Haward and the second is, ‘G. Woodward’ or ‘C.H. Woodward’.
Birkin Haward (1939-) was the son of Birkin Haward 1912-2002)- a British Modernist architect, antiquarian, author and artist, and was considered one of the foremost post-war regional architects. Haward junior trained at the Architectural Association School in London (1958-1963) before working with Norman Foster for many years. Birkin and his wife Joanna van Heyningen work together on heritage, education and performance projects.
We unfortunately do not know further details about the artist, Woodward, but we do have other work by them listed. It’s likely they studied or worked together.
The two figures are playing some form of dice game, with the addition of a red cloth. They’re both depicted in what appears to be Roman or Greek attire.
The screen print is in its original period frame. The paper is sandwiched between two thick pieces of Perspex, which is attached to a wood box frame.
The perspex has reflected the ceilings lights in some photos, which has caused some milky reflections. The screen print has some damage on one corner around the perspex plug, it’s not greatly noticeable unless studied closely. The perspex has some typical light scratches. The ebonised wood frame has some small chips to the paint and areas where someone has caught the edges with white paint.
Outer frame measures 78cm x 52cm.
