Motorised Tank Troops is a 2002 by Olga Florenskaya, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This is a print from a 2002 set called Motorised Tank Troops by Olga Florenskaya. It comes from a quirky art project titled “Russian Trophy.” The project mocked the fortress mentality of old Russia and the Soviet Union using fake flags and odd war machines made of junk. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of Florenskaya’s prints.
The print depicts a side view of a tank on a yellow background, accompanied by text in Russian and English, and includes pencil markings such as numbering, initials, and a date in the lower right corner. It is blind-stamped with "HAND PRINT WORKSHOP" in the same area. Part of the 2002 "Russian Trophy" project by Olga and Alexander Florensky, this work is one of several prints derived from an imaginary military museum critique of Russian imperial and Soviet fortress mentalities.
