About this work
Having just posted individual photos of each of these crowns, together with close-ups showing details of most of them, why am I bringing them all out again for a curtain call?
Original catalogue wording
Having just posted individual photos of each of these crowns, together with close-ups showing details of most of them, why am I bringing them all out again for a curtain call? Well, if the crowns are imposing individually, their impact is even greater when they are seen in a group. Also, I wanted to show the simple and immediate setting in which these treasures are displayed. Neither glass not artificial light distort your experience. That's not to say there aren't robust security measures; there are, but they do not overwhelm the visitor or the treasures.
