| This February sixspace
is pleased to present the latest body of work by Arizona-based artist
Carrie Marill. Duke and Duchess depicts personal items
included in the Sotheby estate auction (#700) that took place September
11-19, 1997 for the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Mrs. Wallis Simpson
and Edward, Prince of Wales. Mounted in walnut frames with adorning
ribbons marked with the Windsor/Wallis family seal, Carrie Marill's
fourteen new gouache paintings poke fun at genre painting, celebrity,
and the idea of ownership. Perhaps most significantly, these paintings
deal with the gluttony of winning and how the act of gaining a possession
is often times more thrilling than the end result. Continue
