Exhibited

London, Modern Collections, Guyton Guyton Walker Walker , 2011, p. 20, illustrated in color Condition This work is in very good condition overall. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the sides and edges of the canvas, which appears as minor surface soiling. There are some irregularities to the inkjet printing process, most noticeable as an irregular line in the bottom left corner, which is inherent to the artist's working method. There are a few scattered media accretions on the surface of the canvas, the most noticeable approximately 5 inches from the bottom edge and 10 inches from the right edge. Unframed.

Catalogue Note "While my interest hasn't been intentionally about challenging the contours of these categories—drawing, painting, sculpture—nevertheless the work has seemed to push a few boundaries, but only in a minor way. It seems that the history of modern or contemporary art as we know it is itself a history of art defining its contours. So if my work makes any contribution to that its merely an introduction of certain technology and simply maintaining a tradition of material or contextual self-awareness." Wade Guyton
