Hz So Good, 2022

Phaidon and Artspace are proud to present a new limited-edition print by British artist Harland Miller. Hz So Good is an edition inspired by Miller's oil painting of the same title, first exhibited at his solo exhibition, The French Letter Paintings, at White Cube, Paris, 2021.

Created through a combination of etching and multiple layers of relief printing, Hz So Good is rich in texture and detail, evoking the cover of a well-read book. Each edition is signed by the artist on the front and numbered on the reverse, and is presented in a custom-produced clamshell portfolio box, with a signed and numbered edition of the updated and revised Harland Miller monograph, In Shadows I Boogie.

'A painter whose works are loved, and coveted, by many, including some very famous fans.' – The Telegraph

'Miller is a consummate and sincere storyteller.' – Financial Times

About the book:

The most comprehensive monograph to date on the British artist and writer loved for his witty book-cover-inspired canvases, now updated with 40 of his latest works.

Harland Miller's creativity as both artist and writer culminates in his iconic paintings of battered book covers with cleverly invented titles. Initially appropriating the classic Penguin paperback, before devising his own unique designs, Miller combines aspects of pop art, abstraction, and figurative painting to create highly coveted artworks. The monograph included in this edition covers nearly 20 years of his paintings and features specially commissioned essays by eminent art writers exploring all aspects of his practice.

Harland Miller is both a writer and an artist, practicing both roles over a peripatetic career in both Europe and America. After living and exhibiting in New York, Berlin, and New Orleans during the 80s and 90s, Miller achieved critical acclaim with his debut novel, Slow down Arthur, Stick to Thirty, (2000). Miller's practice has developed in tandem with his love for books – both as sculptural objects in their own right and as the carriers of humor, irony, and emotion. For over a decade, Miller has been painting fictional covers for imaginary Penguin paperbacks, based on the original color block covers that were used to denote genre.

Miller's paintings have been shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions including at the Baltic Centre of Contemporary Art, Gateshead, 2009, Royal Academy of Art, London, England, 2006 and 2005, Kunsthalle Mannheim, Germany, 2004, and the ICA, London, England, 1996.

All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly and sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan.

All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.

All of our frames come with picture quality .090 mm plexiglass, which blocks 66% of UV to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. It is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.
