Hugh Casson Magdalen Bridge Oxford Signed in pencil, proof print aside from the limited edition of 500. (155/500) 28x35cm Provenance: the artist’s estate. Sir Hugh Casson was educated at Eastbourne College, St John’s College Cambridge and the Bartlett School of Architecture. Trained in the 1930s in the early modernist style, he taught at the Cambridge School of Architecture. After employment as a camoufleur during World War 2 by the Air Ministry, in 1948 he was appointed as director of architecture for the Festival of Britain. A close friend of the Royal Family, he undertook designs for the 1953 coronation, designed the interior of the Royal Yacht Britannia (“The overall idea was to give the impression of a country house at sea”), and taught the Prince of Wales to paint in watercolours. Amongst his architectural achievements are the Elephant House at London Zoo, the 1978 redevelopment of Bristol Docks, the Raised Faculty Building for The University of Cambridge, and a building for the Royal College of Art. He published a number of illustrated books, of which Casson’s Oxford and Casson’s Cambridge are probably the best known. A limited edition series of prints was produced from the paintings.

    "Fooling Around 03" Photography 23" x 33" inch Edition 1/5 by Patricio Gonzalez Photographs intervened (1/5 ) / 300gr paper museum quality Not framed. Ships in a tube. From "Tell me how to behave" series "The simulacrum is not what hides the truth. It is the truth that conceals that there is no truth. The simulation is true " TELL ME HOW TO BEHAVE Series of photographs digitally intervened and road signs transformed (life-size), who wonder about the infinite possibilities, without losing sight of the fact that in all of them. There is the possibility of death. With this in mind, the work seeks to relate to the viewer, in terms of the experience lived, decisions in time, or personal history, which are common to all. Functioning as a counter-proposal to the expectations that the group expects from the individual. The dislocated-edited reality makes us ask about our reality and to what extent. Sample freedom of choice is influenced by external agents, mass control systems, mass media, etc. Waste, immaturity, successes, time lived. The series plays with the presentation of bad possibilities, absurd and impossible, and their relationship with time. Letting you see the paradox of memories and experience, raising its relationship with the present. Where the image of the road, as an American space of freedom, opens up to the idea of ​​a space large enough to imagine the possibility of reinvention in every second.
