Barbara Bloom
The Titanic
New York City, USA: Jay Gorney Modern Art, n.d.
35.5 x 13 cm.
Signed and numbered edition of 33
I could find very little information about this work, including the date, but I have to assume that it’s from 1991, when Bloom had an exhibition at Jay Gorney titled The Tip of the Iceberg.
The work consists of a champagne bottle in a wooden box sealed with a label. The bottle features the text: "Subject to 6000 lbs. of pressure per sq. inch, at 12,460 ft. below sea level for 7 years, this bottle still has its cork in place”.
Hi Dave, If you want more information about this work, I discuss it in my article "Bottles of Art, Works of Alcohol,” in Gastronomica: The Journal of Critical Food Studies, 18(4), 54-70, 2018.
