Why It Matters
Justice is a genuine lithograph, not a screen print, produced on historic Marinoni presses, which distinguishes it materially and technically from most of Peterson's catalog. The very tight edition of 99 and the large format make it one of the more distinctive and scarce works among his 2015 editions.
Collector Perspective
Lithography on BFK Rives appeals to collectors who value traditional printmaking process alongside contemporary imagery. At 99 impressions the run is small, and the documented press, paper and pencil signature give unusually complete production detail. The large sheet requires careful framing; margins and the pencil signature are key condition points.
Historical Context
Working with 99 Prints in Paris placed Peterson within a European fine-art lithography tradition. The title Justice continues his interrogation of authority and its instruments, here rendered through a slower, plate-based medium that lends the confrontational imagery a paradoxically classical, museum-print character.
