GROTTO OF LACOÖN is Daniel Arsham's third print edition created at the legendary print studio Brand X Editions in New York City. This edition is based on a monumental painting made by the artist for his solo show at König Galerie in the fall of 2021. The painting depicts a scene 1000 years into the future or in the past where humans explore a cavern containing a massive crumbling sculpture of the Greek seer Laocoon. Arsham's use of scale and perspective references the 19th Century German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich. GROTTO OF LAOCOON is created from 26 individual silkscreens on 48 x 57" Archival 100% cotton paper. Produced in a limited edition of 199, this edition comes in custom Arsham Studio designed linen and silver embossed packaging. Each Edition comes complete with a pair of embroidered Arsham Editions art handling gloves intended to be worn at all times when handling the work. Each print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist and authenticated by a transparent holographic seal of authenticity on the included COA card. The size of this print allows the work to become a diptych with Tropical Cave of Zeus print edition released in 2021.
