Robert Williams announces the release of a print long rumored to be a myth. “A nearly impossible feat of modern printmaking; 144 Colors, Hand-Pulled, Hand-Separated Serigraph Edition. An incredibly exact reproduction for one of the greatest artists of our time. This edition began production in 1992 and took 2 full years to complete. The prints were created entirely by using traditional techniques of hand-separating the colors and hand-pulling the paper, one color, one sheet at a time. 25,000 Pulls and every one of them is in absolute perfect registration!!! A true marvel of modern printmaking for one of the world’s greatest artists ever!!!” Available at Jetset Graffiti beginning at noon on Friday, March 12. Limited to 125 prints.

DQM offers a better look at the hand painted Robert Williams Vans Vault Era’s. “If you haven’t already, make sure you take a minute to watch the video of him rolling out the canvas in his garage, painting it, bringing it to China and having it cut up and placed on the shoe. You don’t see an effort like that on most artist shoe collaborations. This is a true collectors item. On sale Saturday morning 10/31 only at DQM.”
