Portfolio of 25 lithographs // Lost Classics by Gary Simmons is a limited edition lithograph series created in 2012, consisting of 25 prints in an edition of just 15. Each square in this grid-like arrangement features a circular form resembling vinyl records, centered on a colored background that alternates between bold shades of red, blue, purple, and black. The blurred, almost ghostly imagery on each “record” evokes a sense of nostalgia, as if the images are fading memories or echoes of forgotten music. Simmons is known for exploring themes of erasure and cultural memory, and in Lost Classics, he taps into the transient nature of cultural artifacts. The distressed visuals hint at the passage of time and the loss inherent in the preservation of cultural history.

What is Uncanny?
The Uncanny is a concept described by psychologist Sigmund Freud as the eerie or unsettling feeling that arises when something familiar is presented in a strange or unfamiliar way. Surrealist artists, who aimed to reveal the subconscious and merge it with reality, often utilized this concept by combining familiar objects in unexpected and bizarre ways. This approach created a sense of discomfort or unease, challenging the viewer's perception of reality.
