FIVE OF DIAMONDS

PLEASE NOTE: The item for sale is a 42 x 30 print backed on foam core WITHOUT the playing card number in the corners.

The Five of Diamonds features a three-quarter portrait of a person with two golden banner/curtain rods painted on them, one across their collarbones and the other across their hips. Two red drapes hang from the rods.

"The Deck of Cards was conceived by Assouline, who were inspired by MAC Cosmetics' irreverent imaging and makeup artistry. Working with the MAC Creative Team, the idea grew as some of the world's most renowned designers, musicians and artists created unique body designs that became this provocative deck of playing cards. The response was phenomenal. All of the designs submitted were not only original and creative but reflected the individual personalities of the well-known participants." Released as a deck of standard-size playing cards and later as a book collection of the images, portions of proceeds from sales benefited the MAC Aids Fund.
