SIX 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 Six of Diamonds features an upper-body shot of a person with a photograph painted on their torso. The photo features a man and woman seated beside each other on two chairs, a reference to a photo that accessory designer Anya Hindmarch (responsible for the design of this card) had printed on bags she released. The person has a red bag painted over their crotch, and the top portion of their body / arms is painted to look like a white shirt with long red sleeves.

"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.
