Why It Matters
The ominous title fits Peterson's recurring nocturnal, threat-laden atmosphere. As a self-released edition of 150 on acid-free paper, it represents his accessible tier of prints, the kind that introduced many collectors to his work. Its modest size and price point at release make it a durable entry-level Peterson holding.
Collector Perspective
Acid-free stock supports long-term stability, a plus for collectors focused on preservation. The edition of 150 keeps it accessible rather than scarce. Confirm the pencil signature and number, and inspect the square sheet for clean edges and even ink coverage. Direct-from-artist provenance is a meaningful attribute for self-released Peterson prints.
Historical Context
Produced in 2014 during Peterson's active self-release period, "Night Has Come" typifies the compact square editions he circulated directly to collectors. These prints document his consistent themes of menace and power while remaining widely available. The work belongs to the body of output that built his print collecting following ahead of broader recognition.
