About the artwork
Untitled (the fact of the matter is) from Amikam Toren’s Armchair Painting series. For the series, Toren used oil paintings he’d found and bought from charity shops, and cut words out of the canvases, changing their appearance and function. In this piece, Toren has incised the phrase ‘the fact of the matter is’ into the centre of a picture of a vase of pastel coloured roses, painted in oil. The canvas is suspended away from the support, so that the words appear in white, the shadows of the letters faintly visible through the incisions.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Amikam Toren (b.1945) is an artist working in mixed media, whose work explores the nature of objects and images. He often uses found or thrifted objects, changing them to make a different statement to their original intention, to ‘reinvent’ them. Toren’s work has been exhibited internationally since the early 1980s, and Tate holds eight pieces of his work in the collection.

The best thing to do is email us as soon as possible at shop@tate.org.uk or call us on +44 (0)207 887 8888 with your order number, ideally within 24 hours.

I've changed my mind, can I cancel my order?

As custom prints are made to order, unfortunately you can’t cancel your order after production has started (typically within 24 hours). If you get in touch with us within 24 hours, our team will check on the status of your order and do whatever they can to help you out. 

Can I return my print?
