Pose works for plinths…
The original version of Pose works for plinths was a series of 15 black and white images taken in Situations London, 1971, during a live performance of the work. The second version, a set up photographic session, using three rolls of film, each roll consisted of twelve negatives, which were then cropped and composed into 3 works. Two of these works are in the collection of the Tate Gallery and the other, in a private collection. This exclusive edition, commissioned by Department for Art, has been reproduced using an un-cropped set of negatives from 1971.
