Original artwork description:

Commonly mis-attributed to Andy Warhol, the saying 'Art is anything you can get away with' was actually said by the celebrated Canadian media sage Marshall McLuhan. In taking 'art' to the max, many artists have illustrated McLuhan's point - Marcel Duchamp displayed a gentleman's urinal, Damien Hirst a shark in formaldehyde, Tracey Emin an unmade bed. Compared to these artists Warhol was positively conservative. And, of course, this painting is an absolutely traditional interpretation of McLuhan's edict.

Limited Edition Prints.
Printed on William Turner Hahnemuhle fine art exhibition quality paper (310 g/m2) using Epson Ultrachrome Pro Pigments, the colours remain true to the original up to 100 years.
The image size is 30×30 cms and there is an additional 3 cms border all the way round the image (ie total size: 36×36 cms). The artist will sign and number the print in this border. The print is unframed.
Prints will leave the artists studio within 7 days, rolled in a heavy tube, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and sent via track and trace.
