Interior Morning is one of a series of four screenprints (Interior Morning, Interior Noon, Interior Evening, Interior Night) created by Patrick Caulfield in 1971. The series used the same stencils, but with different inks, to depict the interior scene of a lampshade in front of a window at different times of the day. Here the artist skilfully employs a subtle grey to depict the exterior light, against the bright yellow interior window frame and shade. Unusually, this example has not been trimmed to the edge of the image and retains the original wide margins (together with the instruction printed just below the image 'Trim to edge of colour. Interior Morning. Patrick Caufield (sic). 1970') - making this a very rare version. An excellent example of this beautiful print, copies of which are also held by public collections such as the Tate and the Victoria & Albert museums.
