Truly epic drop. This piece is a monster with literally so many levels. All these years the Beautiful Losers Catalog Boxes that we decided to keep in the archive have never been properly photographed in detail. We unboxed one and took a lot of detail images to give a complete picture of its contents - something not properly done before by anyone. The box includes all kinds of multiples and original works made specifically and only for this box set. Here is a breakdown (by layer) of every item in the box.
