Eduardo Paolozzi, ‘A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Airport’ Print (BUNK Portfolio)

Taken from Eduardo Paolozzi’s pioneering portfolio ‘Bunk’, a 1972 suite of 47 screenprints and lithographs reproducing collages he made between 1947 and 1952. Originally presented as a slideshow in his 1952 “Bunk!” lecture at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, the portfolio employs images from popular American magazines and advertising to explore the ‘schizophrenic quality’ of modern life, treating vernacular culture as fine art. It is considered a foundational work of Pop Art.

Published in 1972 in an edition of 100 copies by Snail Chemicals, London
