This leporello was published by Galerie van Gelder Editions om behalf of Jill Magid’s first solo exhibition in The Netherlands.
‘A colossus of porcelain towers four meters towards the ceiling: the Empire State Building of New York. The work, entitled House 83.5, exists out of hundreds of relief tiles which Jill Magid made at De Porseleyne Fles in Delft. Displayed on a shelf alongside the Delft Blue tower is the complete collection of KLM miniature houses, numbered 1 – 83. The miniatures are modelled after characteristic “Old Dutch Houses”, filled with the Bols Royal Jenever alcohol, and given away as “drinks” to First Class passengers—avoiding a law that disallows airline companies from giving gifts to its passengers.’
