Silver Scream

Silver Scream is a series of 10 unique pieces in sterling silver, meticulously handcrafted and finished by master silversmiths and engravers at Asprey Studio’s workshop.

Reflecting the sense of anxiety and decay represented in The Scream, each physical piece was created using an innovative controlled destructive process of oxidisation, which accelerates the natural ageing of silver.

Extensive research and development ensured the precise acceleration of oxidisation, resulting in a range of blues, reds, and browns that are unique to each piece. The lithograph was engraved onto silver, a long process that only master-level craftsmen can accomplish, and patina was added within the engraved channels to finish the process.

Each physical piece is linked to a digital artwork inscribed on Ordinals, establishing a connection to both the original lithograph and Asprey Studio’s version through parent-child inscription.

This process applies to all digital and physical variations of The Scream by Asprey Studio, pioneering a new method to trace provenance of the physical and digital artworks.

The 10 physical pieces have now sold out, with the piece 4/10 sold at auction at Christie’s on 11 June 2024 in the Beyond the Screen auction.
