| Karin Bos, Showgirls 1-5, linocut on paper, handcolored with watercolor and pencil, each 56 x 38 cm, 2002. edition of 10 |
In the summer of 2002 I used the warmth of the sun on my artists studio balcony to make these lino cuts. The heat softens the linoleum and it makes the cutting a little less difficult. The printing studios in Amsterdam were closed for the holidays, so colleagues Marc Kuyper and Joke Baas let me use their press to print it. Thanks again guys! After printing the edition, I hand coloured the lino cuts with watercolour and pencil.
The edition was a huge success and I sold Showgirl prints to collectors in New York City, Los Angeles, Barcelona, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Stadtische Galerie Bietigheim-Biessingen and Stadtmuseum Borken, both in Germany, as well as to several collectors in the Netherlands. At this point, the series is almost sold out.
The oilpaintings based on the lino cuts, sized 50 x 40 cm, are all sold to private and public colletions in the Netherlands.
