Lot Description:Paul Hartigan
The Royal
pigment print on canvas
905mm x 905mm
title inscribed, signed and dated 2005; 4/8 -
Notes:Paul Hartigan’s The Royal found it’s origins in the ongoing series of images of decaying commercial signage the artist made using a SX70 Polaroid Camera throughout the 70s and 80s. At first glance appearing to be a photorealist painting, The Royal is in fact based on a daylight photograph taken in 1985 of neon lettering being dismantled from the Royal International Hotel in Auckland, about to be taken away on a truck and destroyed.
