On the back of the envelope this work is described as “Sunflower Seeds (detail), 2010”. ‘Sunflower Seeds’ was an installation shown in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, London in 2010. It seemed to be a huge flood of sunflower seed husks, in reality it was a flat scenery of over 100 million individually porcelain replicas of the seed. Handmade in China.
This edition was not for sale on the website of Third Drawer Down or Tate Modern’s webshop before January 2013.

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.

When Thomas Huber in 1989 was commissioned by the Bayerische Hypothek Bank, he proposed to “melt the bank’s capital into soap”. The client declined the honor, after which Huber continued to work on his plan without the bank. He made a large number of paintings, drawings, watercolors and a scale model of the bank. In 1992 he exhibited in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht on the occasion of which an edition was published. The value of things – and therefore art was – questioned and money was turned into soap.
Nevertheless with the sale of the soap edition, soap was converted back into money. KvG
