Erich Wellhöfer's screen print "Absinthe" in the edition rikiki.
The Melody Bar in Düsseldorf: an institution when it comes to cocktails and nightlife. Erich Wellhöfer and his wife Heidi have not only stood behind the bar for 22 years and mixed countless drinks, but have also designed a lot of "advertising for liquor and music". Small collages, photocopied into large-format posters, with Erich's signature and a few prints from his stamp collection, advertise classic alcoholic beverages as well as his own creations - and remained in very small editions, from individual items to a handful. Nevertheless, they have become well-known in the bar and the city, and lucky is the person who has seized an opportunity and taken one home.
Together with Erich, we have produced five of these posters as screen-printed editions.
The «Absinth» and the «Bloody Mary» are slim portrait formats of 36 × 96 cm (14.2 × 37.8"). «Beuys & Girls», «French» and the «Speculant» are landscape formats of 66 × 96 cm (26 × 37.8"). Each motif is a single-color screen print and has an edition of 25 sheets, numbered, stamped and signed by Erich Wellhöfer.
