About the Item
General Idea was formed in 1967 as a collective of three Canadian artists in Toronto, Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson. Over the next 30 years, the trio made a remarkable and inimitable contribution to post-modern art, shaping new expectations and perspectives.
With their subversive approach and interest in parody and appropriation, General Idea addressed a broad range of social issues including consumerism, media consumption, the cult of the artist, and AIDS.
General Idea were both prolific and multi-disciplinary (long before it became de rigueur) creating works in a wide range of media including photography, sculpture, painting, mail art, video, installations, multiples, and performance.
This early and iconic screenprint was created in tandem with a 1977 performance at the Winnipeg Art Gallery in Manitoba.
Along with "Going Thru The Motions", "Hot Property" was a staged rehearsal for the 1984 General Idea Beauty Pageant. This conceptual parody was a 20-year running concept that was realized in various mediums and iterations.
“Hot Property” was among a handful of 1970s performances that utilized the gallery audience as a feedback loop, acting as a studio audience during the performance’s cinematic proceedings. In this performance, the audience was provided with a "safety" exit plan in case the pavilion catches fire.
“Hot Property” was a performance, a pseudo film, and also this exhibition poster...a truly multimedia work.

General Idea
General Idea was commissioned by the Toronto Stock Exchange to install a work/mural. Shortly after the TSX published two prints, a lithograph poster and a limited edition print. However, most of the edition was destroyed/thrown away, when they moved from the trading floor at the TD Centre to their offices. As a result, the work has almost achieved mythological status amongst General Idea collectors.

Spheres of Influence
By Lawrence Weiner
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Lawrence Weiner (b. 1942) is one of the most-distinctive American conceptual artists.
His philosophy and aesthetic developed concurrently to Sol LeWitt yet Weiner has focused far more on (text-based) installation - typically in public spaces.
Exhibited at Leo Castelli during the 1970's, Weiner has been an institutional darling with major exhibitions at most of the world's top museums.
As a significant portion of his output is temporary installation, his multiples (which are few and far between) are sought-after and cherished by collectors.
This rare silkscreen was published in conjunction with Weiner's solo exhibition "SPHERES OF INFLUENCE...

End of the USA
By Jenny Holzer
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Jenny Holzer is one of the most important and original artists of the 20th century.
Her body of work, with an emphasis on text, is consistently provocative and occasionally frightening, manipulating the language of both pop culture and government slogan to produce commentary on global issues notably power structures and warfare.
Holzer's iconic "Inflammatory Essays", produced between 1979 and 1982, were first pasted on walls throughout heavily populated metro areas including New York and other cities.
Composed of anonymous statements, printed on friendly or calm colored papers, the statements were influenced by writings of major political figures such as Emma Goldman...
