PARIS HILTON (POSTER SIGNED)

£165.00

London: n.p. (Lazerides?), 2007
A offset reproduction of the Tory minister son's collage of Paris Hilton made up of torn images of, well, cocks from pornographic magazines. One of a small number of signed posters made available
from the non-too successful attempt to introduce the British enthusiasm for street art to the States where a shop was opened in the Bowery by Lazerides - the problem being for them that it was full of UK tourists (the pound being so high against the dollar) buying stuff to take back to England, Scotland etc to sell on for profit and leaving the US wondering what the fuss was about. The usual trick on dropping prices to allow access to a new market just meant that the old market could buy at a discount - and did (including us)! Slight (baggage) handling creases caused by British Airways crushing the tube it was carried home in - but easily ironed out if framed. Now scarce although at one point very popular on Ebay as people cashed in quickly (we always just cash in slowly as we are too lazy).
