This invitation for an exhibition of the sexually provocative work of painter John Currin marks the very first exhibition at Sadie Coles’ now long-running London gallery. The image on the card titled The Unpopular Guy is a collage made from the pages of a woman’s magazine such as Cosmopolitan, showing a smiling male gaze at women all of whose faces have been given hideous expressions.
