This looks like a black-and-white photo of an older person’s face glued onto a collage. The words “MOST NEEDED” are stamped in bold letters at the top, with “No.1 BEAUTY” below in uneven, hand-cut type. The photo is framed by a dark border, and the whole thing is stapled together like a flyer. The mix of serious text and a plain portrait feels a little funny—like a joke or a protest. The artist made it in 2003 using printed paper and staples, which looks cheap but intentional. If you like this style, check out Rosemarie Trockel.
