"Autobiographical Monoprints", exhibition book pages, Peter Schmidt, 1970
From the Lisson Gallery(Collection of John Emr)
.
Recently added to our catalogue were ten of the "Monoprint" collages. As such, I revisited the exhibition book that accompanied the exhibit. Along with the "Analytical Introduction, Jasia Reichardt did an analysis of two of the Monoprints. As shown above, the item numbers, is a drawing Peter did, one of eight, which was apparently done for a Grahan Greene short story. For a few days now, I've been in contact with rare book sellers, Greene affectionados, his official biographer Norman Sherry, and the original writer of this analysis, Jasia. Nothing firm to report, though I'm hopeful we can locate where indeed these drawings appeared. They would represent the earliest examples of Peter's work.
