the back re-lined

216cm from nose to tip of tail

Provenance: Viktor Wynd’s Museum, London.

This was purchased for the opening of the museum and formed a display rug on which various marine treasures were exhibited until replaced by celebrated artist Magnus Irvin’s Unification Cake – half Pamela Anderson half Paul Robeson (Lot 158 Summers Place Evolution Sale June 2014).

The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & UnNatural History is a contemporary reinterpretation of a Pre-Enlightenment Wunderkabinett or Cabinet of Curiosities. It is the creation of artist and writer Viktor Wynd, who has just opened a Falmouth branch of his museum inside the National Maritime Museum. His most recent book 'The UnNatural History Museum' was published by Prestel in 2020.
