Untitled (Moonstrips), 1967

Unsigned print from the edition of 100. With the Editions Alecto and Kelpra stamp verso. - Offset lithograph on paper // Untitled (Moonstrips) by Eduardo Paolozzi, created in 1967, is an offset lithograph that forms part of Paolozzi’s celebrated Moonstrips series. This particular print, from a limited edition of 100, features two repeated images of a transparent glass cup, rendered in a bold, graphic style. Each cup is depicted with a central lightbulb-like form, overlaying the image of the cup and creating a visual play between object and pattern. Surrounding the images is a striking geometric border in red and black, enhancing the optical illusion effect of the piece. The background behind the cups is a blend of yellow, green, and red, adding texture and depth to the composition. Paolozzi's use of repetition, layered imagery, and vibrant color reflects his interest in pop art and mass production, while the mechanical aesthetic of the print aligns with his fascination with technology and the machine age. Although unsigned, the print bears the Editions Alecto and Kelpra stamp on the verso.
