Brad Smith Fine Art Original Print
9x17 signed, framed fine art print. Totems and Transgenics portray a confluence of biology, culture, and technology through totem-like representations of human embryos based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The human embryo has become a nexus for deliberating what it means to be an organism, human, a person, and a citizen. The embryo is variously considered in our culture as property, family member, medical cure, bearer of legal rights, experimental material, a potential, and an actualized individual. Even detached from its cultural connotations, the images are compelling. This particular print is in muted greens and browns on a field of deep cranberry and has the appearance of a complex tapestry.
About the donor: Brad Smith is the chair of the art department at the University of Michigan. He holds degrees in anatomy and art from Johns Hopkins University and is known for his MRI research on embryos and his art.
Value: $500-$800
Opening bid: $200
Increase bid by increments of at least $20
