Sir Howard Hodgkin (British, 1932-2017)

The Road to Rio, from Official Limited Edition Prints at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (not in Heenk)
Screenprint in colours, 2016, on Somerset White Satin paper, signed with the initials, dated and numbered 118/350 in pencil (there were also 35 artist's proofs), printed by King & McGaw, Newhaven, published by Counter Editions, London, the full sheet

Sheet 760 x 595mm (29 7/8 x 23 3/8in)

Footnotes

Bold and euphoric, The Road To Rio captures the energy and spirit of Team GB at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Jungle-green, sand-yellow, and the blue of the Brazilian sky and sea are used in an exhilarating display of Hodgkin's painterly genius. The assertive washes of colour achieve maximum expression with limited means: Hodgkin's painterly restraint has increased with age. This meticulously crafted screen-print is built up from twenty-two separate layers of colour. The process creates both the thinnest translucent marks and the thickest textural strokes characteristic of Hodgkin's work.
