The negatives have been exposed in their original glassine bags, some of which are wrinkled or bear notations. In one of the six prints from the series acquired by the V&A, Broken Tureen, the negative is broken but contained in the glassine bag. The title of the series refers both to the biblical story of Judas who was offered 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus, and to Parker’s 1988-89 work <i>Thirty Pieces of Silver</i> (now in the Tate) for which she steamrollered 1000 silverplate objects.","physicalDescription":"Image of 4 candlesticks in a row.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Parker, Cornelia","id":"C3213"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Thumbprint Editions","id":"AUTH319622"},"association":{"text":"printer","id":"x30811"},"note":""},{"name":{"text":"Alan Cristea Gallery","id":"C1762"},"association":{"text":"publisher","id":"x32600"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"}],"techniques":[{"text":"photogravure","id":"AAT53207"},{"text":"photography","id":"AAT54225"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Polymer photogravure etching","categories":[{"text":"Photographs","id":"THES48910"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Silver","id":"THES251836"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2018KW4182","2018KW4184"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"514","id":"THES49549"},"free":"","case":"COS","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"photograph","id":"AAT46300"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"printed and published","id":"x35383"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"2015","earliest":"2015-01-01","latest":"2015-12-31"},"association":{"text":"printed and published","id":"x35383"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"© Cornelia Parker","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"54.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"sheet","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"66.3","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"sheet","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Cornelia Parker: Four Silver Candlesticks, from Thirty Pieces of Silver (Exposed), 2015.
