According to very reliable sources, the image shown here started off as a photograph by the Andelusian artist Bob Kenyon. This composition alluded to an original work by the celebrated Kenyan artist, Lyninder Singe, which was essentially a monochrome drawing in oil of a chair and a television set. The concept, brilliantly re-constituted by Kenyon, was a clever post-modern interpretation of the work by Singe.

The image of Singe's by Kenyon was subsequently seized upon by the voracious Roberta (Bob) Stalin and re-constructed as her very own work. Outrageous litigation battles soon ensued - a legal minefield resulting in many a legal-aid lawyer to become significantly richer - as you could imagine!.

The image was eventually purchased at an auction at Sothebys by the Elvis-Picasso Gallery - unfortunately, just after the G20 confrontations in London, England, it was confiscated in a raid by the Metropolitan Police on the grounds that it could possibly be promoting something illegal that they could not understand - allegedly! Sadly, this image is the only record of its provenance.
