Purchasers of Roger Waters The Wall ‘Super Deluxe Edition’ (Since Sold Out) were promised ‘Hand Applied Graphics’. These were revealed to be 3000 hand painted boxes, each one numbered and signed by Roger. The boxes were stacked together to form a wall (What else!) and the Brazilian Artist Team Osgemeos painted them in a warehouse in LA. The finished product has now been unveiled to the world and some of Roger’s support band turned up in LA on 24 February to officially launch the project.(Thanks to Simon Wimpenny for the picture on the right)
