Why It Matters
With an edition of just 10, Figment: Blue on Black is among the scarcer screen prints in English's catalog. Its two-color palette on heavyweight Coventry Rag reflects a disciplined, graphic approach that stands apart from his more maximalist, full-color work.
Collector Perspective
Small screen-print editions of 10 on premium 335gsm rag paper are prized for both scarcity and print quality. The limited blue-on-black colorway and hand signature make this a focused, collectible object for admirers of English's more restrained graphic output.
Historical Context
Screen printing runs throughout English's practice, and colorway variants like "Blue on Black" let a single image exist in multiple moods. This 2013 edition of 10 exemplifies his interest in disciplined two-color compositions on archival cotton paper.
