Love- Dolls Never Die

This is a recreation of the late Bob Carlos Clarke’s last London Exhibition in 2004.

This landmark exhibition was the first time he had embraced the digital revolution and was his first show in London in 12 years.

In discussions about the exhibition he said “My new show is the antithesis of everything I have ever preached. I’ve gone for brutal clarity & intense manipulation. It’s a complete fusion of old & new technology: Traditional darkroom ”wet“ processes and state of the art photoshop retouching. The files are huge and are going to be printed 5 foot high.”

For the exhibition one complete set of very large prints were made, eventually to be available in an edition of 9 and smaller “trade” edition of 100. Due to his untimely death very few prints were made and signed.

The Entire Collection of Exhibition prints was acquired at the time by a private collector who has now consigned them to
20 Ltd.

20 Ltd has also available a number of prints in the smaller format also signed by the artist.
