Lambda print in colours, on glossy paper, with full margins - Signed in black ink and numbered (printed) on a label affixed to the reverse - Published by EN/OF Editions, Kleve, Germany, // Bullion by Thomas Demand is a limited edition Lambda print that portrays meticulously crafted models of gold bullion bars, rendered in striking detail. Demand, known for his process of constructing lifelike models and then photographing them, plays with themes of value, wealth, and illusion in this piece. The glossy finish and warm golden hues evoke opulence, while the careful arrangement and uniformity of the bars suggest an almost surreal sense of abundance. By using an artificial medium to replicate a symbol of wealth, Demand subtly critiques our perceptions of value and authenticity in a world increasingly dominated by simulation.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
