Gauntlet Gallery — Kai & Sunny Print Index
Ghost Flower
Summary
Ghost Flower (2011) is a Kai & Sunny screen print, hand-pulled in two colours — glittering silver and black — on 100% cotton Somerset Satin White 300gsm at 76 x 57 cm, in an edition of 40. The silver-glitter layer gives the duo's flowing floral line-work a spectral, reflective quality suited to the title.
Why It Matters
The silver-glitter treatment distinguishes Ghost Flower from the duo's more common white-glitter prints, and the edition of 40 makes it scarcer than their standard runs. The description notes it was released in response to collector demand, underscoring its desirability within the flower series.
Collector Perspective
At 40 numbered impressions this is a genuinely scarce mid-size Kai & Sunny print. The silver glitter is a defining feature — confirm it is fully intact, as reflective layers are the first to show handling wear. The demand-driven release history suggests a print that found an eager audience on issue.
Historical Context
Issued in 2011 during the duo's peak flower period, Ghost Flower reflects Kai & Sunny's willingness to release editions in response to enquiries around their exhibited large-format originals. The silver palette links it to the more atmospheric, nocturnal register of their botanical work.

Their signed, numbered silkscreen editions, often featuring metallic inks, blind embossing, and hand-finished detail, are the heart of the market. Foil and layered prints in small runs are especially collectible. Gauntlet Gallery selects pieces in pristine condition with crisp embossing and complete signing.
How is authenticity handled?
Kai & Sunny editions are offered with documented studio provenance and the duo's signature and numbering. We photograph the specific piece you will receive, including signature, edition number, and any embossing, so every detail is verifiable before you buy.
