L'Icône Subversive

Coming soon

Archive note

A 1960s porcelain figurine—mass-produced, cherubic, docile—retrofitted with a protest sign in this exhibition artifact from Paris, October 2024. The image documents a conceptual gesture: childhood innocence weaponized, consumer kitsch recontextualized as political dissent. Speaks to collectors of subversive design, institutional critique, and the archaeology of suppressed resistance.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
