White Cube is pleased to present a new edition by Harland Miller; an 'anti-valentine' released to coincide with Valentine's day. This silkscreen print by Harland Miller, based on Painting for Charles Addams (2012), is part of an ongoing series of work that deals with obituaries and the cult of personality. The subject of both this print and the painting it is based on (featured in Miller's exhibition The Next Life's On Me at White Cube Hoxton Square last year) is Charles Addams, the macabre American cartoonist and notorious womaniser who was best known as the creator of the Addams family stories. Miller has used characteristic word play to subvert the classic image of a lovers’ embrace into something witty and ironic in the Addams tradition.
