Common Ground Patrons

Gary Simpson is preparing a very large multi-panel project known as Common Ground 191.. He will create 196 individual fresco panels, each 42” x 42” (approx.), prepared from a mixture of earth samples from the recognized countries in the United Nations. Soil gathering is well underway. Complete details and plans are available on request in a separate publication.

These panels are available for pre-production purchase, with several special considerations, as noted below.

Price for pre-sale: $6,400 each Payable at time of agreement to purchase. (Normal gallery price for this size panel is $7,000)
