About: This portrait of the Queen was created using a vintage 1977 pictorial souvenir, by Olwen Hedley, celebrating The Queens Silver Jubilee. This also happens to be the original source material Andy Warhol used for his “Reigning Queens" portfolio of 1985 and also the iconic image Jamie Reid's used for the cover for the Sex Pistols “God Save the Queen”. The image of the queen is juxtapositioned twith the chemical element symbol for Platinum taken from the "periodic table of elements". Platinum is a precious metal and one of the most rare elements in the earths crust. Hence why it represents the Queens 70 years on the throne - a first for a British monarch.

Framed Size: 101cm x 101cm
