The plates are manufactured in fine bone china with two 22 carat gold designs (six of each).

John Armleder (b.1948, Geneva, Switzerland, lives in Geneva and New York) is a performance artist, sculptor, and painter, whose multi-faceted activities are connected by drawing. Affiliated with Fluxus in the late 1960s and 70s, the value of ephemerality and the notion that art is the conduction of creative energy are central to his work. John Armleder is widely known and respected as the co-founder of the Group Ecart, which has been endorsing the work of artists (Christian Marclay and Karen Kilimnik among them) since the 1970s through its publications, exhibitions and representation at art fairs. A highly influential, established figure within the international community, Armleder’s work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe.
