Tom Benson 2020 Print Bundle

Tom Benson

Tom Benson (1935-1999), Sweden’s surrealist master, created a multitude of phantasmagoric images based on fictive characters and dream-like landscapes. Using his powerful photographs in mind-altering collages, he opened up and displayed inner vistas saturated with mystery, adventure and eroticism. Benson’s rich visions mercilessly catapult the viewer into unchartered psychic and emotional territories filled with intelligence, humorous twists and turns, sexual fantasies, eerie people and spooky environments – all elegantly woven together in a turbulent tapestry celebrating the human imagination.

This bundle has three prints made in 2020. The overall edition was made in 23 hand-numbered copies, all signed by Benson’s widow, Marja Sipola-Cuss. The bundle copies constitute numbers 1-7, with numbers 8-23 selling only as individual prints. Size 210 x 297 mm, printed on archival photographic paper. Included is also a copy of the Trapart book “Tom Benson: Visionary,” the only real monograph so far of this remarkable and highly inspirational Swedish artist.
