notes:
This piece of furniture features the artwork of graphic artist Guido Crepax (1933-2003), who was hugely influential in the development of European comic art in the second half of the 20th century. His most famous storyline, featuring the character 'Valentina', was created in 1965.

This series was very much in the spirit of the 60s, incorporating eroticism, and psychedelic, and dream-like storylines.

In Crepax's work, many references are made to the works of 20th century 'Avant-Garde' artists, such as Magritte, Duchamp, Man Ray, Mondrian, and Warhol.
