Paris: Alice Traval & FLorence Loewy, 2010
120 x 150cm, white silkscreen on green cotton. The text reads

A TIME
&
A PLAVE
AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE

The work is banner and flag at the same time although the instruction is to pin the work to the wall rather than fly it on a pole. A reference to the work of conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner, the banner's text is also a "meeting" text - suggesting a generalised description of a place and time.
This is one of 40 examples alongside 10 artist's proofs - each signed and numbered on a separate paper certificate. In original 23 x 36 x 4cm two part heavy cardboard box with tipped on printed label. VG+.
