New York : Trans Magazine, 2000
Feuille de chewing-gum comestible imprimée de 25 x 21 cm, ornée d'une reproduction du dessin d'un Père Noël maléfique de McCarthy. Présentés avec la couverture du magazine sous film plastique, ces multiples d'objets d'art se sont révélés extrêmement fragiles et nombre d'entre eux se sont cassés et fissurés pendant le transport ou dans les rayons des magazines. Cet exemplaire est dans un état impeccable, intact, avec seulement quelques fissures superficielles. Rare.

Paul McCarthy: TRANS Gum was created as the cover artist multiple for TRANS>8: Arts.Cultures.Media, published in 2000. The piece consists of a reproduced Paul McCarthy drawing, often described as an “evil Santa,” silk-screened onto a single sheet of pink chewing gum and attached to the magazine cover. The magazine was originally issued shrink-wrapped, with the gum multiple presented directly on the front.

Inside, TRANS>8 brings together contemporary art, culture, and media, with contributions connected to artists including Paul McCarthy and Olafur Eliasson. McCarthy’s gum cover transforms a familiar holiday figure into a strange, unsettling image, matching his wider interest in consumer culture, childhood icons, bodily humor, and psychological discomfort. Because the chewing gum cover is extremely fragile and many examples cracked or broke over time, complete examples are especially collectible for fans of Paul McCarthy, artist multiples, experimental magazines, and early-2000s contemporary art publications.
