The sold stickers on the wall represent the Tate show 'Pop World' which was originally to be called 'Sold Out'. This in turn is highlighting and questioning fashions in the art world, money and the real value in art.

The term 'Critical Realism' has existed since the early 20th century. Founded in philosophy and came to art through the Hungarian Marxist political thinker and artistic critic, Georg Lukacs, Lukacs states “Artists should approach their subjects not as isolated exceptions, but as typical of the circumstances of their time”. Research has been undertaken of Critical Realism in contemporary Art. Here we find the possibility to “(re)invent a socio-critical art in a globalised visual culture”.
