DON'T GIVE ME ANY OF YOUR LIP, 2015
lithograph and screenprint in colours on wove paper, the full sheet
signed, titled, dated, and numbered 2/5
sheet 22 x 30 in — 55.9 x 76.2 cm
Provenance:
Open Studio Print Archive, Toronto, ON
Note:
Don’t give me any of your lip is one of a series of three prints collectively entitled ‘La Bouche’ that Open Studio published with Spring Hurlbut in 2015.
For this publishing project, Hurlbut responded to Joyce Wieland prints held in Open Studio’s print archive that were produced at the studio in the 1970s, in which Wieland mouthed words directly onto the lithographic stone using lipstick as the grease medium to create the printing matrix. For ‘La Bouche’, Hurlbut recreated Wieland's act of kissing the lithographic stone, producing prints that visualise the mouthing of three phrases connected to the mouth and lips, while also thematically tying into her 2010 series "Shut Up".

About the Artist:
Born in Toronto in 1952, Spring Hurlbut attended the Ontario College of Art and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. In the 1980s and 1990s, she began to integrate bones, claws and eggshells into her sculptures; in the 2000s, her photographic practice came to prominence with solemn, minimal prints of human ashes. Hurlbut was included in the 2010 Canadian Biennial and has exhibited in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France, Brazil and other locations across the globe. Her work is in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, NY, National Gallery of Canada, ON, Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, QC, Art Gallery of Ontario, ON, among others.

Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition.
