Royal Flux (1996)
The title of this little 16 page book is printed at the top of the blue cover above the monarch’s crown. The publication date, 18 JUNE 1996, is rubber stamped vertically in the lower right corner. No text accompanies the six enlarged (5.6 x 4.8 cm) colour photocopies resembling a British postage stamp. The head of the British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, appears in profile slightly coloured orange on an orange background. Dellafiora sands the portrait and each time re-photocopied until by the sixth postage stamp the portrait has become invisible. As with stamp albums the stamps in Royal Flux are hinged to the pages. 16 pp. 14.7 x 9.8 cm. Edition of 25. Collection holds edition 20/25. Field Study, 18 June 1996.
