Encased within a vitrine and holding a gun toward the viewer, the sculpture collapses self-portraiture, punk image culture, institutional display, and commercial spectacle into a single controlled image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistributed through the Saatchi Collection, the postcard extends the logic of the installation itself: the artwork converted into portable promotional matter. The vitrine becomes image; the image becomes printed support; the artist becomes a reproducible surface moving through circulation systems tied to the museum shop, archive, collection, and secondary market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA precise document from the moment British art increasingly merged with branding, media visibility, and curated persona construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good vintage condition.
