Bank Of Jesus ¥£$ / Insure Against Bad Death - Uncut Double Print

The left and right panels of the Bank of Jesus Triptych proofed together without the centre panel as we could just print them one colour (the centre panel was full colour).

The Bank of Jesus triptych was originally designed as 2m x 1m banner for TDR’s part in the group show ‘Customised Terror’ curated by Yale’s Ronald Jones at Artists Space Gallery in NYC in 1995 (along with Playfair?, Work Buy Consume Die and Flesh etc) and slightly re-engineered for TDR’s own Customised Terror show at The Forum in Sheffield.

This A3 print design, available here as an A2 uncut printers proof, was adapted for a series of prints published in conjunction with the Forum show. The original print run was 100, and a small number of proofs were supplied by the printer to check the print’s colour and repro.

Like all printer’s proofs these have never been commercially available being archived subsequent to serving their practical sign-off purpose prior to the print / crop of / for the finished product.

Like a number of other a3 lithoprints these were reprinted in early 2000s for the Peoples Bureau For Consumer Information online retail experience but this proof is from the original 1996 series.
