With its bold depiction of the former British prime minister sporting a vibrant mohawk made of grass turf, Turf War offers a sharp critique of Winston Churchill’s relentless territorial ambitions. The piece reimagines Yousuf Karsh’s iconic 1941 portrait of Churchill and combines this with the now iconic act of defacement in Parliament Square on May Day 2000 during anti-capitalist demonstrations, where a protester placed a strip of turf on Churchill’s statue and graffitied the former prime minister’s plinth.
Published by Pictures on Walls in 2003, Turf War was produced in an edition of 750, with 150 signed. The original Turf War fetched an impressive £2.82 million when it was sold at Sotheby’s in June 2022.
Turf War is numbered in pencil in the lower right corner, remains in pristine condition, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Pest Control.
