Footnote
Note: This banner was produced as part of the Newleafland flags commissioned by Cleveland Arts, Middlesborough (see also lot 57) John Cairns in his assessment of the Middlesbrough suggests that 'With imagery that combines complexity with accessibility and forms that provide function with an outrageous sense of decoration.....the distinction between art produced within the context of a gallery space and that which exists in the public domain is increasingly less clear, not only can the visual arts assist aesthetically with urban design but the built environment can provide an inspiration and audience unavailable within the confines of a gallery space'
