Tate postcard reproducing Helen Chadwick’s Enfleshings I, 1989. Printed after Tate’s 1994 purchase of the work. The original is a photographic transparency on lightbox, 106.6 × 91.5 × 18 cm, held in the Tate collection.

Chadwick was a key British artist working through sculpture, photography, installation, and the body. Her work often treated flesh, desire, biology, and display as unstable materials. She was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1987. Enfleshings I is among her most significant works: a circular arrangement of raw organic matter around a central light source, the body rendered as luminous, biological, and formally composed.

A small museum support for a major Chadwick work. The body becomes image, lightbox, collection record, shop object. Printed matter after acquisition.

Condition: Good vintage condition; light corner wear, surface marks, and minor handling.

Shipping and handling included.
