Why It Matters
The gold-on-black construction is central to Peterson's early self-released output, reducing his brutal figurative language to pure light against void. At 150 copies it sits among his more accessible print runs, making it a frequent entry point for collectors building a Peterson holding without chasing a scarce single-color edition.
Collector Perspective
Condition is everything on a black metallic stock: Astropaque Eclipse paper shows handling, scuffs and fingerprints readily, so examine surfaces in raking light. Confirm the pencil signature and edition number, and prize impressions with clean, uniform gold coverage. A self-released print signed and numbered by Peterson carries direct-from-artist provenance that collectors value.
Historical Context
Dating to 2014, this belongs to the period when Peterson was rapidly expanding his print practice alongside his gallery painting career. Self-released editions from these years document his signature visual grammar, silhouetted figures locked in cycles of dominance, before wider institutional attention. The nocturnal title and gold-on-black palette exemplify the mood of that early body of work.
