Heidler & Heeps
Hong Kong Stamp Collection, QV 3 cents - Pop Art Color Photography

2017

About the Item

QV 3 Cents, from the Heidler & Heeps Stamp Collection, Hong Kong Series. The fine detailed tapestry of the original Hong Kong small postage stamp has been brought to life and made unique by the franking mark and Heidler & Heeps specialist darkroom process. This artwork is a limited edition of 25 gloss photographic print from negative, dry-mounted to aluminium, presented in a museum board white window mount and a white box frame, it is signed and numbered on reverse accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, This artwork is available in other sizes and pairs well with Richard Heeps' other artworks you can find in our 1stdibs store. Following on from the hugely successful ‘Vinyl Collection’, Natasha Heidler & Richard Heeps have collaborated again, drawing from the childhood past time of stamp collecting. Their unique darkroom process, like an x-ray, reveals the detailed make up of the stamp, which is not possible to see in the physical object. Nearly all take the appearance of a woven tapestry, intricate patterns and artworks from the 19th & 20th Century, are brought to life to be appreciated in the present day. And with the practice of stamp collecting enjoyed by todays older generation when they were children, the exotic imagery takes you to a far off land in a time when overseas travel was limited, the post marks make a physical connection with unknown people around the world. The collection is a documentary of history, dated postmarks connect the images to a time unimaginable and with these artworks you can carry on the British Psyche of ‘collecting’ building your own Heidler & Heeps Stamp Collection, with the pieces that speak to you. Interestingly you will notice the imperfections and some of the writing and numbers in reverse and colours quite different to an actual stamp, in stamp collecting that is what makes a stamp valuable, small runs made with errors, but I’m sure you will agree that is what makes them all the more intriguingly beautiful.
