Lyndsey Ingram is pleased to present our Frieze Masters 2023 booth, which will focus on two of the most important achievements for graphic art in the 20th century - Jazz by Henri Matisse and A Rake’s Progress by David Hockney.
Half of the booth will be devoted to the bon à tirer set of Matisse’s monumental portfolio Jazz. Executed between 1943-47, the portfolio is undoubtedly Matisse’s greatest achievement in printmaking. We will have the original bon à tirer prototype of the portfolio where 19 of the 20 plates are signed by Matisse and several include individual cut out additions by the artist. Together with Jazz, we will be showing a selection of etchings and lithographs by Matisse which will help contextualise his wider graphic practice.
The second part of our booth will have David Hockney's graphic masterpiece A Rake's Progress. This work is an autobiographical portfolio of 16 etchings done between 1961-63, recounting the artist's first trip to New York. To give a historical context for the Hockney portfolio, we will also be showing William Hogarth’s A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress, which were the inspiration for Hockneys etchings.
