view selected images

description and price

Photographs in blue plastic album. Exhibition catalogue / multiple - France

Taken by the artist, these original images appear reworked in several of Opie's later works. Slight cracking to plastic edges of album, and 'mottling' to plastic sleeves. Photographs, however, are in mint condition.
Edition size unknown.

Dimensions: 16 x 12cm approx

£55 (convert)

Born in 1958, Opie studied Fine Art at Goldsmith's College, London.

He first achieved fame in the mid 80s with painted steel sculptures of everyday objects. Today, however, he is better recognised for hard-edged, pared down artwork which - although owing much to computer imaging - is a style that Opie has made unmistakeably his own.
