Note:

In the early 1970s, Anthony was inspired by Brian Eno to make some screen prints that paralleled visually the effects that Eno produced with electronics. Working in partnership with master silk screen printer, Kevin Harris, Anthony created a suite of six silkscreen images entitled “Roxy Bias”. produced by a complicated method of interchangeable stencils and endless color proofing. The titles, Ringing Filter, Butterfly Echo, Inverse Echo, Erase Function, Multi–Mode Jitter, and Helicon, all came from the realm of electronic music where the colours and images vibrated and danced on the surfaces. The suite of which this lot is from was very successful and won several major graphic prizes the first at the San Paulo Biennale in 1974.
