Ever since Polly Morgan's first taxidermy piece was exhibited at Zoo Art Fair in 2005, which lead to an invitation to show alongside Banksy at his gallery, she's been taking the art world by storm with her beautiful sculptural works.

Her well-received solo show at Haunch of Venison in London last September catapulted her into the forefront of the British art scene, and her work is now extremely sought-after and has been purchased by high-profile collectors and celebrities.

We're excited to be working with Morgan on our most recent publications: Two limited edition lithographs.

Both titled 'Myocardial Infarction' and depicting a group of Love Birds feeding from a human heart, the prints follow the concept of Morgan's work, focussing on the utilization of death, whilst referencing the drawings of 19th century illustrators such as Edward Lear and John James Audubon.

The colour print, an edition of 50, is available for a limited period at the pre-publication price of £335 inc. VAT, and the more exclusive black and white piece, an edition of just 10, for £560 inc. VAT. See the works in more detail and buy online from today.

The colour piece will be debuted alongside other new works from Eyestorm artists at our stand at the London Original Print Fair next week, which takes place at the Royal Academy of Arts between Tues 19th and Thurs 21st April.

I love Polly's work but that is just plain grim.

[wentos]

Reminds me of Adam Batchelor...would rather have one of his too.

I dont think its a bad thing to be fair. She needs an income, and she cannot flood the market with originals and mini additions all the time as it would devalue her work. So from a money making point of view it makes sense to me. And would keep the prices or her taxidermy work where they should be imo.

[Ruggs]

Etchings and prints on her own website are far more superior to these.

Looks like eyestorm on a money maker then! I stand corrected, buy from source (her site). Cheers for the heads up Ruggs, had not seen those before!

[gilsteph]

Like this one!

[Pattycakes]

poor man's Walton Ford. It's a shame I do quite like what Polly does, eyestorm was a bad move for her, they are a horrible publisher, who produce the poorest quality prints. What a shame

Polly Morgan has a show called "Burials" opening 3rd June, at

Workshop arte contemporanea
Dorsoduro 2793 / A
30123 Venice

From the email:

"Workshop Arte Contemporanea is pleased to announce the opening of ‘Burials’, the first solo exhibition by the London-based artist, Polly Morgan, in Italy. Described by Charlotte Philby in The Independent as ‘Britart’s hottest property’, Polly Morgan is at the very forefront of modern taxidermy. She has contributed to a shift in public perception that has taken ‘the art of preparing, stuffing and mounting the skins of animals with lifelike effect’ to places never dreamed of by its original Victorian practitioners.
The vitrines are still there but little else remains. Birds are taken out of their natural habitat and are reassembled, often in mass, creating sculptures of astonishing and often disquieting beauty.
Workshop Arte Contemporanea would like to thank The British Council and Bisol Desiderio & Figli for their support of this exhibition"

Would be great if Italian forum members would share some pics, if they are going.
I hope its a great sucess for Ms Morgan.

Anybody out there going that could help me score one of this. I would say I would return the favour some day but not much happens over here!!!

[rottenredrooster]

What does it mean by starting price? Is it a Cauty styled pricing thing where it goes up every time someone buys?

[des77]

It means they rise as they sell out, just like most contemporary releases
