Unsigned print from the edition of 100. With the Editions Alecto and Kelpra stamp verso.
- Offset lithograph on paper
Untitled 2 (Moonstrips) by Eduardo Paolozzi, created in 1967, is an offset lithograph that forms part of the artist’s celebrated Moonstrips series. This print, though unsigned, is part of a limited edition of 100, with stamps from Editions Alecto and Kelpra on the reverse side. The composition blends elements of text and imagery, reflecting Paolozzi’s interest in pop culture, technology, and the human form. On the left, a geometric figure in a leaping pose contrasts against a background of lines, evoking a sense of motion and dynamism. To the right, a pair of overlapping, blue-toned female figures, positioned against a block of text, add a humanistic layer to the piece. Paolozzi often explored the relationship between technology and the human condition, and this print exemplifies his collage-like approach, merging written and visual narratives to comment on the modern world. The text elements seem to be excerpted from various sources, reinforcing the layered, multimedia feel of the artwork.
Eduardo Paolozzi (UK, 1924–2005) was a sculptor, printmaker, and pioneer of Pop Art. Renowned for his bold collages and monumental sculptures, he explored the intersection of technology, industry, and culture. Works like I was a Rich Man's Plaything and his public mosaics in London highlight his innovative approach to art.
Offset PrintOffset lithography is a printing technique where the inked image is first transferred (offset) from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. This method combines the lithographic process, which relies on the repulsion of water and oil, to keep non-printing areas ink-free by attracting a water-based film. Offset lithography was originally developed to reduce costs in reproducing artwork and is widely used for high-volume printing due to its efficiency and ability to produce sharp, consistent images.

Rational order in the technological world can be as fascinating as the fetishes of a Congo witch-doctor - scientific phenomena become significant images.
- Eduardo Paolozzi
Best known as a pioneer that inspired pop art, Eduardo Paolozzi was a Scottish artist whose works were focused on sculpture creation as well as art in general. After completing his schooling at the Edinburg College of Art as well as the Slade School of Fine Art at University College London Paolozzi found his way to Paris. Here he meant several other great artists such as Jean Arp and Alberto Giacometti who would be inspirations for later works. While the majority of Eduardo Paolozzi's work was done in sculpture form Paolozzi also dabbled in other artistic forms of work including acting and writing. However, these were simply a downplayed means to many of his notable sculptures that had become widely recognized as many works were presented on various projects or among other known architectural structures. Notable works include The Faraday sculpture located at the University of Birmingham, the Athena sculpture and the Redditch mosaics.
Art Brut, a French term meaning Raw Art, was coined by Jean Dubuffet to describe art created outside the conventional fine arts tradition. Dubuffet used the term to refer to works made by self-taught artists, including the mentally ill, prisoners, and others on the margins of society. He also called it Outsider Art. This art is characterized by its raw, unrefined nature, often created without concern for traditional presentation or imitation.
