Detailed Provenance & Uniqueness
This is a unique piece with an irreplaceable history, directly linking the artwork to the artist's inner circle. This unique oversized variant was created for Jamie Reid’s pivotal 2011 London exhibitions, The Ragged Kingdom and Peace Is Tough.
Its rarity is confirmed by the hand-drawn OVA glyph and the original LOA from John Marchant, which confirms it was a personal gift given as a "consolation prize" following a talk incident. This specific provenance makes it a singular, non-commercial piece from the artist's working archive. The print uses an archival Giclée base, which allowed Reid to create this large format on lighter paper, and was then uniquely hand-finished in pencil by the artist.
Artistic Significance
The print features Reid’s iconic punk-era aesthetic, powerfully protesting ecological destruction (deforestation). The hand-drawn OVA glyph (Reid’s spiritual symbol) elevates this specific print to a unique, artist-touched item.
