A breathtaking pair of officially licensed H.R. Giger biomechanical masterpieces — "No. 272, Baphomet (after Eliphas Lévi)" (1975) and "No. 251, Li II" (1974) — professionally framed with their original TASCHEN portfolio paperwork intact on the backs.
These are premium, high-quality reproductions (acrylic-on-paper style) from the iconic 2008 TASCHEN H.R. Giger portfolio/book editions — not the ultra-rare 1970s signed limited lithographs or originals (the actual paintings are enormous 200 × 140 cm works now in private/museum collections). But they capture every haunting detail of Giger’s signature dark, erotic, surreal vision that defined *Alien* and influenced generations of dark art, sci-fi, and occult fans.
The artworks: - Left: Baphomet (after Eliphas Lévi)** — A mesmerizing occult-industrial hybrid. A radiant, androgynous female figure with flowing hair and outstretched arms (holding swords) merges with a powerful goat-headed demon, all fused into massive pistons, gears, and esoteric machinery. Smoke rises, a glowing light pulses at the base — pure alchemical darkness meets biomechanical nightmare. The verso paperwork includes Giger’s notes on Eliphas Lévi (the 19th-century occultist who popularized this Baphomet image) in multiple languages.
- **Right: Li II** — An intensely personal and haunting portrait of Giger’s partner and muse Li Tobler. Her serene, beautiful face emerges from a writhing biomechanical nightmare of skulls, skeletal figures, spider-like forms, and dripping mechanical tendrils. It’s erotic, mournful, and terrifying all at once. The back paperwork features Giger’s own touching quote about meeting Li in 1966, their life together until her death in 1975, and how she opened her own gallery.
Both pieces are elegantly and professionally framed in sleek black frames with wide mats — ready to hang and display immediately. The preserved TASCHEN documentation on the reverse adds authentic archival provenance (copyright 2008 TASCHEN / 2001 H.R. Giger, Zürich).
- Professional framing, matting, glass, and the intact original paperwork significantly boost the value for collectors.
They would look absolutely killer side-by-side in a gothic, occult, or sci-fi collection — or as a dramatic statement piece in any modern interior. Pure Giger perfection! If you're selling, I'd lead with the TASCHEN provenance and the personal Li Tobler story
