Printed Matter has worked with the estate of David Wojnarowicz and
PPOW to produce a new letterpress edition of Wojnarowicz’s iconic work,
Untitled (One day this kid …). The work features an image of Wojnarowicz as an innocent child encompassed by angry, bold text describing the abuse that he will inevitably endure in his life because he is gay. The words provide a very powerful and moving autobiographical story of Wojnarowicz’s life, giving readers a small insight into the life of this enigmatic East Village artist.
Originally published in 1990 as a Photostat, 30 × 40 1/8 in. Edition of 10.
This new edition is produced as a letterpress print, in an edition of 100
with 10 Ap’s printed by Coeur Noir studio in Williamsburg. Each print has
an authentication stamp from the Estate of Wojnarowicz on the back.
Printed on a thick 8.5 x 11 inch card the piece feels like a tablet, combined
with the embossed texture of the image and text gives this edition a three
dimensional quality.
Please note this fundraising edition is limited to two per customer.
We would like to thank the estate of David Wojnarowicz and PPOW for their generous support in helping produce this fundraising edition with us.
