The Seven Deadly Sins
Circa 1970s
Rare Artist's Proof — E.A. II/X
An exceptionally rare Épreuve d'Artiste (Artist's Proof) designated E.A. II/X, outside the standard edition. Printed directly under the master's supervision, this proof features maximum color depth and exceptionally rich, vivid pigment contrast.
Sheet Size: 29.5 × 21.7 in (75 × 55 cm)
Medium: Original Color Lithograph on Fine Wove Paper
Rarity: Rare Artist's Proof (E.A. II/X from an edition of 10 APs)
Condition: Very good overall condition with strong, fresh colors. There is a tiny pinhole at the extreme outer edge of the margin (which will be completely hidden once framed/matted) and minor handling creases near the edition numbering, which do not affect the artwork itself or its visual impact.
Signature & Annotations: Hand-signed by the artist in pencil in the lower right; marked E.A. II/X in pencil in the lower left. Title THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS annotated in pencil on the reverse.
The Seven Deadly Sins is a monumental expressionist composition filled with mythology and psychological tension. It shows a menacing, beast-like entity in deep blue hovering over a bright red figure, set against intense green and yellow background washes.
This print perfectly captures Lindström's signature style—raw CoBrA energy, primitive mask forms, and explosive color combination.
Hand-signed and designated by Bengt Lindström himself, guaranteeing its absolute authenticity and collector importance.
