The ‘Corner’ works where born out of a series of photographs of headless portraits from Versailles by the Italian photographer Robert Polidori. Without the subjects’ head and an emphasis on the lavish silk wallpapers and gilded frames the images were reduced to abstractions. Using stripped down materials the equality of value between the ‘painting’, the ‘frame’ and the ‘wall’ became the central premise of the Corner works.

This idea that the ‘wall’ is a part of the painting itself is in evidence here as two sections of this large painting are appear to be an extension of the white wall on which it hangs.
