The recto carries a childlike figurative drawing incorporating references to Paris, fascist imagery, fashion graphics, and comic-strip distortion; the verso carries exhibition details and gallery information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drawing operates in the awkward, intentionally unstable visual language that circulated around younger figurative and neo-outsider practices during the early 2000s: part notebook image, part graphic mascot, part social caricature. The invitation compresses exhibition, identity, and reproduction into a portable square format designed for mailing and distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin The New Rare shop\/object register, the card functions less as documentation than as retained circulation material. The exhibition survives here as paper residue: artist name, temporary dates, institutional address, and reproduced image held together as a minor administrative object. The mark of the gallery remains intact; the object remains unchanged. Its placement does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good vintage condition.
