18 Jun PHOTOGRAPH OF MAQUETTE FOR ET IN ARCADIA EGO. c. 2008.

Posted at 11:04h in Photographs

Two colour photographs (each 10 x 15cm) of a small maquette for a major installation in Den Haag - ET IN ARCADIA EGO .
This work was stolen from the Ingleby Gallery and it is known who the thief is (the work was in his bathroom on display for many years) but despite the person writing this telling the police who and where the work was they refused to investigate without further evidence. The same thief also stole significant items from Richard Demarco's storage unit in Edinburgh in 2013. There you have it.
