Harland Miller - Tonight We Make History (P.S. I can’t be there) - 2024
Manifold Editions presents four new colourways of Harland Miller’s Tonight We Make History (P.S. I can’t be there), in pink, blue, orange and lilac. These editions are inspired by the title painting of Miller’s 2016 solo exhibition at Blain Southern, Berlin.
Harland Miller’s silver-based works are unique in his practice. To reflect this, the edition has been kept to a limited size of just 25 – also due, in the artist’s own words, to “each one taking about a million f*****g years to make”. These editions couldn’t have been achieved without Miller’s close working relationship with the print studio throughout the process, which, as suggested, is very labour intensive, layering multiple etching plates with silver chine collé and hand finishing, made over time, to evoke the sense of a worn book cover, aged over time.
Miller’s now iconic Penguin book series is characterised, more than any other aspect of the work, by the ‘Titles’, which, when he began the series, distinguished it from being merely a form of appropriation to being that of subversion. The titles break with the unspoken codes in publishing, extant to this day, that restrict what authors can – and cannot – say on a book cover.
