Description
Two masked legends square off across this sheet like a pair o’ privateers fighting over the last barrel of rum. On the left, Hijo del Santo in his silver-white mask with his fist cocked; on the right, Blue Demon Jr. in blue, hand flung wide. Overhead it reads “Sábado 19 mayo 2012,” and all around them: “Otras luchas más,” “Lost Acapulco,” “Surf & Roll!,” “Precios populares,” “5pm,” “DJ Resistol 5000,” “en el Congress Theater” and “Hecho en Chicago,” with little pin-up gals and a “Luchas a Go Gó” burst tucked into the margins.
Printed in teal, coral and black ink on cream paper. Pencilled along the bottom: an artist’s signature we can’t read with confidence, “2012,” and the edition number 53/100. Somebody has also signed across Hijo del Santo’s chest in black marker; we haven’t confirmed whose hand that is. Shot behind glass, so mind the odd reflection. Sails nicely alongside Lot 237 and Lot 235, a piece of the theater herself.
