Made in 1986 during a performance in which Rose Garrard transformed a corner shop into a plaster casting studio, these sculptures juxtapose images of historic women artists and page three girls from the Sun newspaper. They are both a document of the gender politics of the 1980s, and a protest at the exclusion of women artists from the history of art and the objectification of women in the British press. This is the first time the works have been exhibited since 1994.
The money and medals of this 250-year period provide a fascinating insight into broader developments in artistic expression, monarchy, nationhood, and trade in a rapidly expanding world. Coins and medals acted as powerful agents in conveying the official image of the king or queen and commemorating the important events of the day. They also reveal the changing role of money and economic experience through periods of religious conflict, civil war, exploration and the union of the kingdoms of England and Scotland.
