This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and installation instructions issued by Galerie Gisela Capitain, Cologne.

Two geometric forms in yew wood and diamond acrylic plastic sit in quiet dialogue, their natural and industrial materials contrasting in texture and transparency. The pairing of warm, dense wood with the cool luminosity of the plastic surface reflects Price's ongoing interrogation of value, authenticity, and the systems that confer meaning onto objects. Characteristically, the work's bureaucratic title foregrounds its own institutional documentation, implicating the certificate and instructions as integral components of the piece itself.
