James McQueen | Anthology I

A profound exploration of the 'collective mind,' 'Anthology I' is a monumental work that has become a definitive symbol of James McQueen’s contemporary Pop Art movement. Inspired by the intimate 'pile of books' at a bedside, McQueen reflects on how our choice of literature serves as a portrait of our personalities. This sweeping, large-scale work moves beyond the individual cover to capture the soulful beauty of a life’s library—a stacked collection of varied lives, stories, and hidden histories.

Measuring an impressive 41.9" x 60.6", this work mirrors the grand scale and sophisticated aesthetic found in London’s most prestigious galleries and luxury retail landmarks like Harrods. McQueen’s signature 'distressed' patina—achieved through meticulous silkscreen layering—evokes the tactile nostalgia of a vintage library while maintaining the sharp, grit-infused edge of the Knightsbridge art scene.

Whether anchoring a feature wall in a Mayfair penthouse or a private library in the Wentworth Estate, 'Anthology I' represents a premier acquisition for those seeking the 'London Standard' of investment art. As a specialist gallery for the Home Counties and the capital, Creed Gallery is proud to offer this signed edition as a bridge between nostalgic sentiment and high-end contemporary design.
