Please note that this edition is available to pre-order and will be dispatched from Tuesday 22 April.

Ed Atkins has generously produced Untitled, 2025, one of two limited edition artworks to coincide with the exhibition, Ed Atkins, 2 April – 25 August 2025, at Tate Britain.

The limited edition, Untitled, 2025, is a giant version of one of Atkins’s Post-it note drawings in red. Atkins began making Post-it note drawings for his daughter’s lunchbox for preschool, producing one, two, or more, daily during the Covid-19 pandemic. ‘Their contents, as much as can be outlined, are desirous, improvised, expedient and, I think, dreamy—allied with dreams’ says Atkins. Many of the drawings depict a scene that is closely cropped, leaving the imagination to interpret it. There is a complexity to each of them which is balanced by their provisionality and the simplicity of the materials. In Atkins’s work, what usually may be considered as an unspectacular gesture is presented as significant. The Post-it note drawings, whilst simple in form, are a testament to the site of art-making as a place of love and bonding.

Each print is signed and numbered by the artist. Prices of the artwork are liable to change. As a limited edition sells out, prices of the artwork are subject to increase and the price will be clearly indicated.

Ed Atkins (b. 1982, Oxford, UK) is one of the most influential British artists working today. He is best known for his computer-generated videos and animations. Repurposing contemporary technologies in unexpected ways, his work traces the dwindling gap between the digital world and human feeling. He borrows techniques from literature, cinema, video games, music and theatre to examine the relationship between reality, realism and fiction.
