Yinka Shonibare CBE Party Boy, 2014 limited edition print
This limited-edition print was specially commissioned for the Foundling Museum’s ten year anniversary and the 2014 exhibition ‘Progress’, marking the 250th anniversary of the death of artist and Foundling Hospital patron William Hogarth (1697–1764). The print is a response to plate 3 (‘The Tavern Scene’) of Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress. Each print is unique with different fabrics applied to each edition.
