Tony Fitzpatrick was a beloved and deeply revered printmaker. He combined detailed miniature graffiti backgrounds with voluptuous central images in his compositions. This print was one of Landfall Press’s favorites. It was pinned to the wall at Landfall as a fond memory, from the time it was printed there until Landfall closed up shop a few years ago. Because it was pinned to the wall, it shows pin holes used for hanging it, and we would rate the condition as fair. But the significance of the print far outweighs any pin holes.
