AN UNDERMINING OF SHOW STANDARDS – Ian Johnstone

Photo in an hand-crafted frame done by the artist

Measurements of the artwork : 10 x 14 cm

Size of the frame : 30 x 32 cm

Hand numbered and signed by the artist on the reverse of the artwork

Numbered, signed and annoted on the reverse by the artist: “6/23“, “An Undermining of Show Standards” and “Mr Todd oct 2004”

“An Undermining of Show Standards” – supposedly created in an edition of 23 copies only in 2004 (we doubt the completion of the edition though), the truly luxurious hand-crafted frame is easily worth the price of admission alone.

It houses a super lovely photo of a chrysanthemum with artist-applied detail in gold. An object to be long treasured and taken to the grave.
