| Description/Remarks |
Printed title at lower left corner: 1 (encircled) SWINGING MONKEY 1. Image depicts single monkey in black and grey line drawing, swinging from one arm, on the right hand side of the picture plane; background white.
From AGNSW catalogue:" 'Swinging monkey 1' is the first of six colour screenprints plus title page in a portfolio of prints made by Whiteley while in London in 1965, and one of seven by him printed at the Kelpra Studio that year. The development of photo-stencils by Christopher Prater enabled the combination of collage and screenprinting. The set was exhibited at Marlborough Gallery in October that year." |
