The artwork is principally painted on a rectangular piece of thick carpet, with a square of mountboard adhered on top. It is painted in greyscale acrylic paint, and depicts a close up image of David Bowie's head and shoulders, wearing a bandage across his eyes with buttons sewn onto it. There are dots and lines radiating outwards from his head. The carpet is adhered to a white paper and board backing, with a border at the top and bottom. On these borders there are the painted inscriptions '1947' and '2016'. There are also purposeful expressive paint splatters around the borders.\n\nThe piece is framed in an unglazed wooden carved frame, which is painted metallic gold, also with paint splatters. The back of the frame is sealed with brown tape and there are metal fittings. There is printed writing on the wood on the back of the frame. There is a handwritten signature on the back of the piece. \r\n\nThere is glitter residue across the piece, and blue coloured wax residue at the bottom of the frame.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Larson Juhl","id":"AUTH411577"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":"Maker of frame"}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"textile","id":"x41581"},{"text":"board","id":"AAT183686"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"wood","id":"AAT11914"},{"text":"metal","id":"AAT10900"},{"text":"tape","id":"AAT14685"},{"text":"pen","id":"x47746"},{"text":"printing ink","id":"AAT187371"},{"text":"paint","id":"AAT15029"},{"text":"adhesive","id":"AAT14801"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painting (image-making)","id":"AAT54216"},{"text":"collage","id":"AAT138699"},{"text":"framing","id":"AAT240903"},{"text":"adhesion","id":"AAT53010"},{"text":"handwriting","id":"AAT252927"},{"text":"taping","id":"x39893"},{"text":"framing","id":"AAT240903"},{"text":"casting","id":"AAT53104"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Mixed media painting on carpet (woven textile) and mountboard, adhered to paper and board backing.
