An image that adorned the bedrooms of millions of teenage boys in the 1970s – that of pin-up star Farrah Fawcett-Majors – is deconstructed to create an iconoclastic artwork operating across a range of registers.
Produced in a limited edition of 30, each print is signed and numbered by the artist.
Pio Abad’s work mines alternative or repressed historical events and combines these with selected aesthetic phenomena. He investigates cultural events or personae, delving into their histories, drawing out associations between them and other moments, incidents or people.
The RA Editions programme generates valuable revenue for the RA and in particular the RA Schools.
