With a life time interest in the surreal egg form, Gavin Turk presented his giant bronze 'Oeuvre (Verdigris)' at Somerset House in spring 2019 on the River Walk. In association with Photo London he simultaneously invited the global art community to upload and contribute their own ‘portrait of an egg’ to be exhibited at the fair. |

The sculpture is titled 'Oeuvre (Verdigris)' and was created in 2018. |
