Untitled CP
Work Summary & Collector Notes
Untitled CP is a 2010 one-color, hand-pulled screen print from Poster Child Prints, produced in a tight edition of 42 on heavy white cotton paper. At 15 x 22 inches, its single-color treatment strips Peterson's imagery to its most essential form, foregrounding line and silhouette over palette.
Collector notes: First Edition; saved release record states an edition size of 42. Edition-specific signature, numbering, and stamp details were not stated in the saved release record. Verify signing and numbering against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
The single-color, hand-pulled approach makes Untitled CP one of the purest distillations of Peterson's graphic language, where the drama lives entirely in contour and negative space. Its very small edition of 42 places it among the scarcest Peterson prints in circulation, appealing to collectors who prize minimal-run works.
Collector Perspective
With only 42 impressions, this is a genuinely rare edition and a compelling piece for a focused Peterson collection. The untitled status and Poster Child Prints imprint mean careful attention to the pencil signature and numbering is essential. Its restrained one-color format also makes condition and paper tone highly visible.
Historical Context
Poster Child Prints operated within the small-edition art-print world where Peterson's early screen work circulated. Produced in 2010, Untitled CP reflects the era's appetite for limited, hand-pulled prints and the artist's willingness to work in stripped-down single-color statements alongside his more elaborate multi-color editions.
