Description

GEORGE WYLLIE M.B.E., R.S.A., R.G.I. (SCOTTISH 1921-2012)
PAPER BOAT CERTIFICATE - 1998
Signed, numbered 50/50 and dated 1998 lower right, paper
42cm x 29cm (16.5in x 11.5in)
Inscribed: ‘Such is the service of a fine art and of ships that sail the sea… but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.’This work pertains to Wyllie's most famous artwork The Paperboat (1989). Art UK describes this piece as follows: 'George Wyllie’s 'Paper Boat' was built in 1989. It sailed through Glasgow, London, Antwerp, Dumfries and the East coast of Scotland. It made the front page of the Wall Street Journal as it berthed at the World Financial Centre in New York in 1990. Measuring an impressive 78 feet in length, the 'Paper Boat' had a steel frame clad in sheets of plastic and gauze, velcroed together, which opened to reveal a viewing platform, from which rose a question mark. Wyllie himself said, 'We used to build big ships like Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, and I thought we’re not building anything of any consequence now; we can only build paper boats. So I came up with this cock-and-bull story about an order from the Origami Line to build a paper boat.'
