Lot Essay

In 1965 Palermo executed his oil painting of Flipper in red, blue and white. During the printing of the screenprint in 1970 the artist produced two versions, one in two and one in three colors. When he exhibited them side by side he decided that they made a successful dyptich. Jahn notes that due to the fragile surface of the screenprint several impressions were damaged, and that the true edition for the diptych Flipper is somewhere between 50 and 60 impressions.
