Price? Given the asking prices of some of Carol's other large scale art pieces, it would be interesting to know what this lovely work is valued at. This is probably Carol's largest art work to date and being a singular piece (versus his giant frozen gloves or spiral belt rugs) it certainly is special.
Camille the SA didn't know and I didn't get to ask monsieur Armand. Apparently this is just a prototype(?) and that Carol might make another one for L'E.
If this wasn't CCP it would just be an art object questioned as an art object because it just an admittedly well done model of a black horse more suitable for the Museum of Natural History.

Nice photographs though.

well i have no idea what the process was for carol but to me it looks like traditional taxidermy with some slight differences. specifically, the hide being object dyed, and the model used for the horse is pretty ccp-esque (as opposed to natural). emaciated, gaunt, screaming face, head stretched forward with teeth bared. i also imagine it must be rare to find a specimen of this size, and using the entire horse carcass, meaning no synthetic materials other than eyes and probably teeth. you know, i have no idea really.
regardless this thing took time and research.
or it was just subbed out to an expert taxidermist with ccp's instructions.
edit: is it object dyed or object tanned?
