Forty Licks - Canvas Collector's Edition, 2004
By Ronnie Wood
About the image
This iconic pose captures the Rolling Stones taking a bow at the end of one of their performances during their legendary Licks 2002-2003 tour in support of their 40th anniversary compilation album Forty Licks. This tour became the second-highest ever grossing tour at that time, just behind their own 1994-95 Voodoo Lounge Tour.
Release Notes:
Originally released as a fine-art limited edition on paper, Ronnie decided to also produce this special "Collector's Edition" limited run on canvas. To make the series extra special, he limited the quantity to 118 pieces, designating each one to correspond to a performance from the Licks Tour from 2002-2003.
Ronnie went on to offer 118 Canvas Collector's Edition prints with several subsequent releases including Flatbed Truck, Conversation Piece, and Skulls On Stage among others. The collectors who first purchased the Forty Licks canvases gained exclusive early-access to the new canvas pieces as they were released, so they could purchase the matching edition numbers.
Collector's Notes:
Each piece in the Forty Licks Collector's Edition was hand numbered, dated, and inscribed with the venue and city that corresponds to a performance on the tour.
Examples include:
#24/118 - the 24th show, which took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
#36/118 - the 36th show, which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
