Catalogue Note

This work is sold in a frame chosen specifically by the Artist 'Producing Red Flowers as an edition for the Tate Gallery involved transforming what appeared as just a few colours in paint into 22 colours to be screen printed, the finished print being hand torn and the edges sponged, as were all the editions, with a limed oak frame as part of the finished design.'
