This pin has the sparkling emanation of a broche and was produced for promotional reasons. It was sent to clients of the Rosa Esman Gallery in New York with the aim to draw attention to the solo exhibition of Sol Lewitt, at that time written as Sol Le Witt. The names of “Sol Le Witt” and “Rosa Esman Gallery” are printed on the reverse.
Sol LeWitt made this Wall Drawing #821 in 1982. It bears the title A Square Divided Horizontally and Vertically into Four Equal Parts, Each with a Different Direction of Alternating Parallel Bands of Lines. and became a signature motif with the pictorial power of a traffic sign.

Oceaan
Het Arnhemse kunstenaarsinitiatief Oceaan startte in de zomer van 1991 de ‘Tentoonstelling per Post’. Onder het motto “Oceaan komt naar U toe!’, had Hester Oerlemans van Oceaan zeefdrukken gemaakt met vier kunstenaars: Rob Birza, Kees Goudzwaard, Annemie van Kerckhoven en Geert de Rooij. Wie deze vier kunstwerken wilde bekijken, hoefde niet naar Arnhem te gaan. Na overmaking van honderd gulden kreeg je ze thuis gestuurd, en daar kon je je eigen tentoonstelling inrichten. “Ik wilde er iets spannends van maken,” vertelde Hester Oerlemans. “Normaal ga je naar een galerie met allerlei verwachtingen, op basis van de uitnodiging, of een affiche. Wij willen die gang van zaken met dit project doorbreken, en de tentoonstelling zo verrassend mogelijk houden. Dus pas als je thuis per post de zeefdrukken hebt gekregen, weet je hoe de tentoonstelling er uit ziet.”

De Irakoorlog was een door de Verenigde Staten en het Verenigd Koninkrijk in maart 2003 ingezette oorlog tegen en in Irak, waarbij ook andere landen binnen het Navo-bondgenootschap troepen leverden.
In 2003 The Netherlands was one of the Western countries that joined the Allied Forces called the “Coalition of the Willing” to fight against the regime of Saddam Hussein. This urged Sigurdur Gudmundsson to make a series of enamel plaques commenting the countries involved and who caused the killing of the dictator and fall of the regime.
