Why It Matters
This 2010 print carries notable exhibition provenance through Haunch of Venison and the Daydreaming with James Lavelle project, a landmark collaboration between Kai & Sunny and the UNKLE co-founder. Released after its southern counterpart sold out, it reflects strong contemporary demand for the series.
Collector Perspective
With an edition of 30 and a documented gallery and Daydreaming exhibition link, Country Tune North Black offers both scarcity and provenance. Collectors may seek the North and South Black variants as a directional pair. Verify numbering and any exhibition documentation tying it to the Haunch of Venison show.
Historical Context
The Daydreaming with…James Lavelle exhibition at Haunch of Venison was a defining moment in Kai & Sunny's rise, blending music culture and visual art. This 2010 print sits at the heart of that project, one of the duo's earlier gallery-anchored editions before their prolific 2011–2013 nature period.
