Bird On A Wire

This edition

This signed limited edition silkscreen print was published in 2003, in an edition of 275 plus 30 Artist's Proofs, on 400gsm Velin Arches Blanc paper. Overall size 97 x 79cm (38 x 31in), signed and numbered by the artist, with a certificate of authenticity included.

About the painting

A woman in dark glasses, a wide-brimmed hat and a white blouse leans on the railing of a seaside pavilion, with a Union Jack overhead and men in summer suits around her. She seems entirely composed, the still centre of a busy holiday scene.

The title is borrowed from a well-known song about freedom and longing, and it gives the picture an extra layer of meaning. This is one of the largest prints we offer, a statement piece for a big living room wall, hallway or stairwell.

Framing and display

Every print we supply comes with a certificate of authenticity. If you are framing it yourself, our guide to framing a limited edition print explains what to ask your framer for, and our print care guide covers where to hang it and how to keep it in good condition.
