Original Lithograph
Bengt Lindström
Swedish, 1925–2008
Couple
Circa 1970s
An Ultra-Rare Artist's Proof (EA) Run of Only 10 Copies
Edition Note
Épreuve d'Artiste IV/X
This pristine impression comes directly from Bengt Lindström's highly exclusive, ultra-limited Épreuve d'Artiste (EA) run. Distinct from standard commercial editions of 100 or 150, this elite artist's proof is strictly limited to an exceptional global run of only 10 copies worldwide, representing an absolute peak of scarcity and investment-grade modern heritage.
Sheet Size: 29.9 × 22.0 in (76 × 56 cm)
Medium: Original Lithograph on Fine Arches Paper
Rarity: Ultra-Rare Artist's Proof (EA IV/X aside from the main edition)
Condition: Pristine / Perfect condition. Exceptionally fresh and perfectly preserved, with colors remaining remarkably vibrant.
Signature: Hand-signed by the artist in pencil (bottom right)
Deeply inspired by the revolutionary CoBrA movement — particularly the raw, emotional aesthetics of Asger Jorn and Karel Appel — the Swedish master forged a highly distinctive creative path. Couple demonstrates Lindström's ability to inject intense, kinetic energy into graphic art, utilizing a fiery palette of electric blues, striking reds, and vivid yellows.
The composition beautifully distorts the primitive figures, merging them into an embrace that channels the ancient deities, shamanic masks, and rich folklore of Nordic mythology. Lindström’s sweeping brushstrokes carry a heavy, almost tactile sculptural depth directly onto the paper, creating an intense visual presence.
The lower margin bears the artist's definitive hand-signature alongside the formal Roman numeral numbering EA IV/X, cementing its authenticity and direct connection to the master's hand.
