Lot #74: Peter Moore — “School’s Out” (1989) — Rare #1/55 Hand-Numbered Limited Edition

An exceptional opportunity to acquire the very first numbered example from an extraordinarily small edition of only 55 prints. Peter Moore’s “School’s Out” (1989) is a striking piece of late-1980s graphic art, combining a brilliant aquatic blue field with an ingenious progression of interlocking fish. The tessellation-inspired composition creates movement across the entire image—the longer you look, the more the pattern seems to come alive. What makes this particular example especially desirable is its numbering: 1/55. This is not simply one of only 55 examples—it is NUMBER ONE of the edition, giving it an immediate distinction that collectors often find particularly appealing. The artwork is hand-numbered, titled and signed, beautifully presented under glass with a wide mat and sleek metallic gallery-style frame. The small “SCHOOL’S OUT” presentation plaque completes the sophisticated display. Why This One Stands Apart * Extremely limited edition — only 55 produced * Highly desirable #1/55 edition number * Signed by Peter Moore * Dated 1989 * Fascinating tessellation-style fish composition * Bold blue-and-white palette with strong Mid-Century/Modernist appeal * Professionally framed, matted and ready to display * A genuine limited-edition collectible—not a mass-market decorative poster “School’s Out” is the kind of artwork that works on two levels: from across the room, it is a clean, dramatic statement piece; up close, the remarkable interlocking fish pattern draws you in and reveals the intelligence behind the design. For the collector who appreciates scarcity, unusual graphic design and exceptional edition numbers, #1/55 is the example to own. Once the first numbered print from an edition this small changes hands, finding another #1 simply isn’t possible. Pickup category timeslot {A}
