Work Summary & Collector Notes

Collector notes: The saved release record describes: Edition Of 3. 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
As the first in a matched trio of large single-colour flower prints, Flower 1 anchors one of Kai & Sunny's most cohesive botanical statements. The single-colour approach and exhibition scale foreground pure line, and an edition of three makes it a rarefied large-format work.
Collector Perspective
Three impressions at over 1.5 metres put this at the top of the duo's scarcity range. Collectors drawn to the series often seek Flower 1, 2 and 3 together as a matched set. The integral oak-stained frame and clean single-colour surface are the primary condition considerations.
Historical Context
Flower 1 is part of Kai & Sunny's 2011 large-format flower suite on Somerset Satin, a body of work that translated their line-based aesthetic into monumental botanical forms during their most prolific nature period.
