Lot Description
GOREY, Edward (1925-2000). Insect on Unicycle. Zürich: Diogenes Verlag, 1978.
Etching, on Arches paper, 14 x 11 3/4 in., SIGNED BY GOREY and numbered in pencil lower margin, 5/120. (Cloth tape from framing upper margin verso.)
One of 6 etchings created by Gorey and distributed by Diogenes Verlag in 1975, each consisting of 120 Arabic numbered and 20 Roman numbered copies. Though the etchings were sold individually, they are considered a set. VERY RARE: according to online records, no complete set of all 6 etchings has ever sold at auction, and only one copy of this etching has ever sold at auction. See Goreyana Blogspot, 4 April 2011.
