William H. Danforth (When purity was paramount) #2, 2009

This edition is based on the Liam Gillick's eponymous exhibition at the British Council Gallery in Prague in 1998, where the artist displayed logos of former state-owned industries in the UK that had been privatised under Margaret Thatcher. With this, the artist wanted to make a connection between the upheaval in the Czech Republic and the breakdown of social ownership in the UK. The logos incorporated into this work are British Rail, British Leyland, British Gas, British Telecom and British Steel. The first is one the artist created by overlaying all logos to create a composite logo.
