Description:
Executed at a commanding scale, Self-Obsession, What’s In It For Me? exemplifies Miller’s ability to merge literary nostalgia with contemporary cultural critique. The familiar Penguin-style composition is elevated through hand-applied embellishments, giving each example a distinct, tactile presence.
The phrase—wry, self-aware, and unmistakably contemporary—has become one of the artist’s most resonant themes. Works of this size and treatment occupy a compelling space between editioned print and unique object, making them particularly desirable among collectors.
