RAYMOND PETTIBON
Among the many subjects Pettibon has returned to throughout his career, the ocean and the solitary surfer have become some of his most recognizable. For LITO and Sotheby’s Exclusive Editions, Pettibon revisits this important strand of his practice with three new limited edition artworks: No Title (What is the…), No Title (As she turn’d…) and No Title (But the sand…).

Launched April 2026, Sotheby’s and LITO Editions partner for a newly conceived Exclusive Editions series; presenting commissioned limited edition artworks from leading contemporary artists.
“Beginning a collection with editions offers an exciting and accessible entry point into contemporary art. Through our collaboration with LITO, collectors can acquire high‐quality works directly from the artist, reinforcing both authenticity and a meaningful connection to the creative process. Exclusive to Sotheby’s, these editions carry a compelling sense of rarity while remaining approachable. By presenting them on our Marketplace, we aim to welcome new audiences and invite discovery of exceptional art in a way that feels both inspiring and inclusive.”

"LITO's unique technology made it possible to reproduce the textured surface of my paintings with complete fidelity. In my case, the Roll-A-Tex surface that I have used in my paintings for many years was effectively cloned twelve times, preserving both its relief and material presence. I'm interested in the way this serves to collapse a distinction between the original and the reproduction."
"The marriage of art and science is one that's been known and storied. There was, prior to the camera, an assumption that art was the ultimate authority of truth in history. Now with new technology, art is freed to take on new responsibilities, and to be able to tell other types of stories. Working with Sotheby's, LITO and with LITO's technology, has also allowed me to go back into my archive and rethink paintings that had been done years ago and these editions are part of a grand tradition of artists playing with the leading edge of technology."
“I don’t particularly like to do prints or limited editions, my work itself is a kind of mark-making, painting printing process. Yet LITO’s technological innovations in printing processes – the true nature of these heavily textured surfaces have taken me back to the streets of my village, its people, the importance of sharing and one’s roots, all encapsulated in what Mango means for us in many parts of the world.”
