Maharam Serpentine Galleries Wallpaper by Lawrence Weiner

About the Item

Maharam Serpentine Galleries wallpaper Sail On by Lawrence Weiner 001 Lawrence Weiner is a sculptor based in New York and Amsterdam and a founder of the conceptual art movement. In an effort to make art that is accessible, open-ended, mutable, and transferable, Weiner's primary medium is language. Since the 1970s, he has treated words as sculptural material through his installations, consisting solely of text painted in nondescript lettering on walls. Created for a child’s bedroom, Sail On depicts a fantasy voyage at sea. The three white hexagons represent ellipsis—a punctuation recognized across cultures to indicate et cetera, a continuation, or an omission. The Maharam Serpentine Galleries wallpaper collection is created by esteemed artists and architects under the curatorial direction of Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries in London. Building upon Maharam’s longstanding practice of interdisciplinary collaboration, curatorial strength, and expertise in digital printing, the wallpapers reflect a range of subject matter and styles while utilizing advanced digital printing techniques for complex, high-resolution imagery in a full-color spectrum. Reflecting a traditional framework of modestly sized repeats and a conventional 27” width, the Maharam Serpentine Galleries Wallpapers are intended for commercial and residential use. Durable and easy to maintain, the collection is printed with UV-resistant inks on a washable, latex-reinforced substrate. - 83% Cellulose, 17% Polyester - Roll size: 118" V x 27" H (300cm V x 69cm H) - Wall coverage (standard): 22 sq ft (2 sq m) - Clean with mild soap, lukewarm water and a natural sponge.
