Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition of x 75 plus 10 A/P's. The saved release record describes: signed; numbered. Verify each feature against a documented example of this edition.
Why It Matters
Dawn Wave documents its production unusually fully—naming K2 Screen as printer and specifying 10 additional artist's proofs beyond the main edition of 75. Its four-colour build and square-ish 57 x 57 cm format make it a more intimate wave study than the large Wavy prints, with complete hand authentication.
Collector Perspective
The edition of 75 plus 10 A/Ps gives collectors two tiers to consider; A/Ps often carry a modest premium for their smaller count. Full signing, numbering, and stamping support authentication, and the named printer adds provenance clarity. Preserve the hand-deckled edge, and confirm whether an impression is a numbered edition print or an A/P.
Historical Context
Dawn Wave belongs to Kai & Sunny's 2022 output and reflects their recurring wave imagery, related in spirit to the Wavy series. The dawn theme pairs the wave motif with light and renewal, consistent with the hopeful, nature-rooted outlook that characterises the London duo's work.
