On Wednesday, 31 May, Chris Levine unveiled a new edition at Sotheby’s London. The artwork, titled Queen Elizabeth II / 1926–2022, is a unique reinterpretation of Levine’s 2004 portrait of the Queen, originally commissioned by the State of Jersey.
Withheld from public view until now following her majesty's passing, this is the first time the work has been shown and is now offered exclusively by Sotheby’s as the final rendition from this historic body of work.
“Releasing this work, I’ve saved the best till last. I’m often asked which is my favourite from the body of work, this has to be right up there. I was due to give Ma’am one of these along with my portrait of Frankel as a thank you and gift for her Jubilee.” • Chris Levine
