John, 2000 Artist: Elizabeth Peyton (American, born 1965) Medium: Lithograph in colours on wove paper Dimensions (sheet): 610 × 483 mm (24 × 19 in) State: Printer's Proof — numbered "PP 7/10" Edition: Edition of 350 Signature: Signed and dated in pencil Printer: Derriere L'Etoile Studios, New York Publisher: Co-published by Derriere L'Etoile Studios and the Public Art Fund, New York John is a lithograph in colours on wove paper, executed in 2000 by Elizabeth Peyton — one of the most celebrated, critically acclaimed, and widely collected American figurative painters of her generation — signed and dated in pencil and numbered "PP 7/10" as a Printer's Proof aside from the edition of 350, printed by Derriere L'Etoile Studios in New York and co-published by Derriere L'Etoile Studios and the Public Art Fund, New York, presented as the full sheet in very good condition. The Printer's Proof state — numbered PP 7/10, one of just ten printer's proofs pulled aside from the regular edition of 350 — places this impression among the rarest and most collector-desirable states of this celebrated work, distinguished from the standard numbered edition by its designation and the exceptional rarity of its production context. Elizabeth Peyton has built across three decades a body of work of extraordinary intimacy, chromatic sensitivity, and emotional intelligence — a practice centered on the portrait, the celebrity, the historical figure, and the beloved friend, rendered in a visual language of delicate line, jewel-like color, and profound psychological attentiveness that has secured her place as one of the most significant and widely celebrated figurative painters working anywhere in the world today. Her work is held in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Whitney Museum, the Tate, and major institutions across Europe and the Americas. The subject John — one of the recurring proper names in Peyton's intimate portrait practice, evoking the personal and the specific within the broader cultural landscape of her work — is treated here with the characteristic lightness of touch, chromatic refinement, and emotional directness that define her finest lithographic productions. Co-published by Derriere L'Etoile Studios and the Public Art Fund — two of the most distinguished and culturally engaged print and public art institutions in New York — the work carries a publication history of exceptional institutional distinction.
