Waiting For Mr Cool – Sam Toft
The ice cream van has a sign in the window: Back in 5 mins. And so they wait. Mr Mustard and a wonderfully optimistic queue of animals — dogs of every shape, size, and level of patience — have formed an orderly (if somewhat hopeful) line, eyes fixed on the hatch, ears pricked, tails at the ready. Nobody is leaving. The ice cream will be worth it. It is quintessential Sam Toft — a perfectly observed moment of everyday anticipation, rendered with warmth, wit, and an awful lot of fur.
This giclée print on 260gsm fine art paper is presented framed in the publisher’s warm champagne block frame, ready to hang.
Edition Details
Mega Remarque Studio Proof 1 of 2 — one of only two Studio Proofs in existence for this edition, each hand-embellished by Sam Toft with a large original remarque sketch unique to this print. From a main edition of 395 prints + 40 Artist’s Proofs. Individually signed and numbered by Sam, supplied with a certificate of authenticity from Collier & Dobson.
A Mega Remarque is the most significant hand embellishment Sam produces — a substantial original sketch added by Sam herself, making each piece entirely one of a kind. Combined with the Studio Proof designation, this is among the rarest and most collectable pieces in Sam Toft’s entire catalogue. Ultra rare.
