About The Work
This work is a printer’s proof, making it a rare and unique piece outside the regular edition. While it is unsigned and unnumbered, its status as a printer's proof neither adds to, nor detracts from its value.
The painting Orchid, on which this screenprint is based, dates from 1998 and is one of Tuymans' best-known and most emblematic works. The artist explains how he was inspired by the idea that certain flowers change gender in reaction to climate change. This led Tuymans to paint an orchid, a flower with a strong feminine and erotic connotation.
