Harnessing the alluring magic of old books and powerful quotes, Anthology II showcases McQueen’s ever evolving and versatile talent. Named Anthology - a collection of artistic works that have a similar form or subject, often those considered to be the best – in this first of its kind release, the mysterious artist features some of his most popular titles in a way never seen before. The hand-signed polychromatic limited edition encompasses the most iconic, satirical and utterly funny titles of previous works in an iconic line-up of book spines.

The artist, whose anonymity allows collectors to truly appreciate the art for itself, draws from a powerful range of materials and influences to create his work. Bold colours reflect the satirical quotes throughout the collection, subverting the vintage aesthetic of historical books. The poignant quotes thus complete these bold modern artworks also replete with contemporary art influences, from Rothko to Tracey Emin.
