Sidewall, Wilde Carnation
This is a sidewall. It was designed by Antony Little. It is dated 1968 and we acquired it in 1968. Its medium is screen printed on ingrain paper. It is a part of the Wallcoverings department.
Complementary colors, when placed side-by-side, seem to have increased chromaticness, making reds appear redder and greens appear greener. The fact that each color also has the same brightness adds to the desired effect of surface flatness, as each color competes for the foreground.
This object was featured in our Object of the Week series in a post titled Wilde Carnation.
It is credited Gift of Clarence House.
