ITEM NOTES The current lot appeared in Ecstatic Archive , a spectacular show at the Goodman Gallery that continued the artist’s series of disorienting maps. ‘The physical world haunts these maps,’noted the artist in the accompanying catalogue, ‘and there is always this sense that by altering the map one can affect reality, which really means by shifting the way you look, one can affect what is seen’.
