Grayson Perry framed silk scarf 2012
Located in London, GB
Grayson Perry’s *Scale* at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) is a striking exploration of the intersection between art, society, and the aspirations of emerging artists. Perry, known for his provocative and thought-provoking works, utilizes the concept of a silk scarf as both a functional item and a metaphorical guide. This scarf serves not only as a visual piece but also as a social and cultural map, designed to assist aspiring artists in navigating the challenging landscape of the art world. The work reflects Perry’s unique ability to blend personal narrative with broader cultural commentary, encouraging dialogue about the challenges and triumphs faced by those striving for recognition in the arts.
The text accompanying the silk scarf reveals its historical significance, referencing World War II when pilots were provided with silk maps for escape in enemy territory. Perry draws a parallel between this notion of survival and the struggles faced by contemporary artists. He emphasizes that the art world can often feel like a hostile environment, filled with obstacles that must be overcome. The scarf represents a navigational tool for these artists, offering guidance through a landscape populated by influential figures and established norms. By presenting the journeys of both renowned artists and the paths aspiring creators might take, Perry crafts a narrative that resonates deeply with anyone familiar with the pressures of artistic validation.
Perry’s choice of silk as the medium further enhances the piece’s thematic richness. Silk, with its connotations of luxury and fragility, reflects the delicate balance that artists must maintain between their personal vision and the expectations of the establishment. The inclusion of notable artists who have paved the way for others along the route serves to inspire and motivate aspiring creators. By using this metaphorical scarf, Perry invites viewers to consider the complexities of artistic identity and the ongoing quest for acceptance, making *Scale* a powerful commentary on the nature of success and the shared experiences within the artistic community.
The artwork details a fictional artist’s journey from birth to success, naming the artists, experiences and influences they encounter along the way. The text of this journey reads:
Start here, Walt Disney, Play, Vincent Van Gogh, Rolf Harris, John Constable, Anish Kapoor, Louise Bourgeois, Inspirational Teacher, Rachel Whiteread, Picasso, Rene Magritte, Edward Hopper, Teenage Pupation, David Hockney, Jackson Pollock, Art School, Trainee Bohemians, Marcel Duchamp, Banksy, Beryl Cook, Jack Vettriano, Sex, Drugs & Rock & Roll, Francis Bacon, Bridget Riley, Gilbert & George, Art Dealer, Hirst, Money Celebrity Fashion Drugs, Networking, Carl Andre, Choices, Takahashi Murakami...

Leonor Fini Signed Framed Beautiful Lithograph Print Deux Femmes, circa 1970s
By Leonor Fini
Located in Studio City, CA
A beautiful lithographic print by Argentinian-born Italian surrealist painter, designer, illustrator, and author Leonor Fini titled "Deux Femmes".
Leonor Fini was arguably the most ferociously and heroically independent woman artist of the 20th century. Fini herself never accepted the label of "woman artist," and likewise, never considered herself a Surrealist despite her works having been included in nearly every major Surrealism exhibition from 1936 to the present. In the 1930s she lived in Paris, France where she collaborated with, or who were influenced by such prominent 20th-century artists as Jean Cocteau, Man Ray, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dalí, Joseph Cornell, Dora Maar, Anna Magnani, Albert Camus, Jean Genet...

André Derain Framed 'Paysage à l'Estaque' Color Lithography, circa 1972
By André Derain
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Original 'Hyde Park' color lithograph by André Derain.
Lithograph printed from an original painting made by the author in France in 1906.
Published by Fernand Mourlot in Les Fauves. Paris, circa 1972.
Framed and signed in the stone.
Frame will be slightly different from the one on the photos, each piece will be framed once it sells, this is an exhibition frame.
In good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use, preserving a beautiful patina.
About the Artist:
André Derain (10 June 1880 – 8 September 1954) was a French artist, painter, sculptor and co-founder of Fauvism with Henri Matisse.
Derain and Matisse worked together through the summer of 1905 in the Mediterranean village of Collioure and later that year displayed their highly innovative paintings at the Salon d'Automne. The vivid, unnatural colors led the critic Louis Vauxcelles to derisively dub their works as les Fauves, or "the wild beasts", marking the start of the Fauvist movement. In March 1906, the noted art dealer Ambroise Vollard sent Derain to London to produce a series of paintings with the city as subject. In 30 paintings (29 of which are still extant), Derain presented a portrait of London that was radically different from anything done by previous painters of the city such as Whistler or Monet. With bold colors and compositions, Derain painted multiple pictures of the Thames and Tower Bridge. These London paintings remain among his most popular work. Art critic T. G Rosenthal: "Not since Monet has anyone made London seem so fresh and yet remain quintessentially English.
Some of his views of the Thames use the Pointillist technique of multiple dots, although by this time, because the dots have become much larger, it is rather more simply the separation of colours called Divisionism and it is peculiarly effective in conveying the fragmentation of colour in moving water in sunlight."
He experimented with stone sculpture and moved to Montmartre to be near his friend Pablo Picasso and other noted artists. Fernande Olivier...

Collapsed Triptych in Sand, porcelain & plaster wall artwork by Olivia Walker
By Olivia Walker
Located in London, GB
'Collapsed Triptych in Sand' is a unique wall-mounted sculptural artwork by the British artist, Olivia Walker. It has been created from coloured porcelain, tadelakt plaster and resin. The dimensions above are for the three panels.
Walker works in porcelain to create pieces that explore ideas of growth and decay through the construction and layering of complex surfaces.
All of her pieces start by being thrown on the wheel, before being built upon with thousands of individually applied fragments of porcelain. Many of her pieces are thrown and altered, often being cut away and reassembled in the leather-hard stage which allows her to deconstruct the form creating new surfaces on which to continue adding her porcelain layers.
Starting from a set point on a piece, Walker lets these organic accretions spread out and grow, almost eating through, or growing over the form beneath and covering it. Walker makes reference to organisms such as fungus, corals, and bacteria but her pieces are her own interpretation, letting the viewer bring their own ideas and emotions to her pieces.
Walker studied at Farnham in 2014 where she completed her MA in Contemporary Craft, specialising in Ceramics. An apprenticeship with the highly revered potter and writer, Julian Stair...
