2006 Northfield Day of the Dead Steamroller Prints

The Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Suite of Steamroller prints was created in the days leading to a first-ever community celebration on November 1, 2006 in Northfield, Minnesota. It represents the hard work and artistic content of the local Latino community, the Minneapolis-based Grupo Soap del Corazon, and the community arts group ArtOrg.
This edition is limited to 5 four-foot-by-eight-foot prints; the print 1/5 is the 104-foot-long print. Print set numbered 2/5 has been accessioned into the permanent collection of the Fredrick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota. Prints numbering 3/5, 4/5, 5/5 are generally for sale. In two cases, the 5/5 print was not printed. In five cases, an additional “hors commerce” print was pulled to use as advertising only. No artist proofs, printers proofs, gallery proofs, or other prints in this edition exist. All prints are stamped with the ArtOrg embossing chop.
