Banana Republic
Banana Republic is a limited edition archival pigment print by contemporary artist Gavin Turk.
Banana Republic is Gavin Turk's playful homage to the history of bananas in art by artists including Wayne Thiebaud, Andy Warhol and Maurizio Cattelan. The banana is a recurring motif in Turk's paintings and sculpture, drawn upon by the artist as a symbol of exoticism and global trade, as well as gender and sexuality. This provocative Pop-style image of an acid yellow banana against a shocking turquoise background is described by the artist as a 'minimal still life, abandoned by the rest of the fruit bowl.'
From an edition of 60, the piece is signed by the artist on the front and numbered on the reverse.
Size (cm): 40.4 x 57.4
