Notes:
This lot is a double-sided drawing from Tim Gardner's first solo show. This series was informally titled The Drinking Buddies because these works relate to young men engaged in or suffering from the effects of over-consumption of alcohol or drugs. In Kevin Prokosh's art review of this show he quotes Plug In curator Wayne Baerwald: "He's looking at the socializing and camaraderie that's built up through drinking in North America and Europe."

Included with this lot is the original invitation for the show and a one-page artist statement.

Please note: this work is unframed.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
