TO LIVE WITH GREAT BEAUTY: THE JULIA AND PETER ARCHER COLLECTION

This is my latest art project exploring the philosophy of finance.

It is an artist book in the form of an auction catalogue documenting the exhibition of the first group of Cipher paintings and sculptures, which are paintings and sculptures of auctioned works.

The Cipher paintings are not copies of homages of auctioned paintings, they replace the image of the artwork with the idea of it (Notes on Ciphers)

For this I made up the collectors, the collection, the whole reality.
