Endre Tót | TOTalJOY Covid Face Mask




Endre Tót
TOTalJOY Covid Face Mask
London, UK: Show & Tell Editions, 2020
30 x 21cm.
Edition of 75 numbered copies


"Printed backing sheet with glue attached printed face mask with the text in red; “TOTalJOY”.
The title is well known as a phrase often used by the artist and while this artwork has been produced in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic is meant as a call to show optimism at a time of tragedy.
The mask is functioning and can be removed from the card but it is primarily meant as an artwork. As the card notes: all face masks help prevent transmission of disease but this is not surgical standard mask and should be treated as such. Only 75 numbered copies released all in original plastic self-sealing transparent plastic bag."
