James Cauty has now been publishing works through the L-13 in it's three previous guises ('The Aquarium', 'The Aquarium L-13' and the 'L-13 Light Industrial Workshop') for 19 years since the first Blacksmoke Stamps of Mass Destruction 'Gas Mask Queen' pieces.

Cauty has jointly exhibited with Banksy at Dismaland and his Small World Re-enactments are phenomenal.  Research his immense back-catalogue, you will be stunned by his imaginative productions.

The new SKY ARTS Documentary WHO KILLED THE KLF featuring Cauty and Bill Drummond will only raise the profile of Cautys work value and collectability.

His output over that time has been prolific, classy, quirky, dark, humorous, controversial, thought-provoking and delightfully edgy and hard-hitting, making him really like-able and collectable.  The rarity of all of his work just amplifies this collectability.  There is always something for every budget with Jimmy's work too.

A great artist...an iconic gallery...amazing value-for-money rare British art at it's best.

These will look absolutely magnificent framed together.

This piece was not issued with provenance on purchase, but this can be very easily obtained by courteously contacting Steve at the L-13 and perhaps making a very small donation to the British Art Resistance for the trouble ;)

Postage : Additional fees apply due to varying geographical locations. Be assured BEST VALUE postage for either flat post or cardboard tube will be applied.

Can combine multiple purchases.
