Invest in Conceptual History: Billy Apple's 'A Piece of the Pie' Postcard Collection

Experience the intellectual rigor of Billy Apple, a titan of conceptual art and a pioneer of the British Pop Art movement, through this exclusive set of ten museum-quality postcards. A Piece of the Pie is more than just a visual work; it is a profound commentary on the institutional structures and commercial transactions that define the art world. Originally known as Barrie Bates, Apple rebranded himself as a living art object in 1962, a move that blurred the lines between the artist, the product, and the market—themes that resonate deeply within this specific piece.

Uncompromising Quality for the Discerning Collector

At RedKalion, we believe that even smaller-format works deserve the same archival integrity as a full-scale gallery installation. These postcards are produced using our signature 12-color fine art printing technology. While standard commercial printers use a basic 4-color process, our method offers unparalleled color depth and tonal accuracy, ensuring that Billy Apple’s precision-driven aesthetic is preserved exactly as intended.

  • Artist: Billy Apple (Barrie Bates)
  • Paper Weight: Sturdy 200 gsm (80 lb) professional-grade stock.
  • Finish: A sophisticated smooth matte finish that eliminates glare and enhances tactile quality.
  • Sustainability: Printed on FSC-certified paper, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship.
  • Archival Durability: Thickness of 0.26 mm (10.3 mils) ensures these pieces withstand the test of time, whether mailed or framed.

Elevate your correspondence or curate a miniature gallery wall with an archival masterpiece that endures. These flat A6 postcards (10.5 x 14.8 cm) arrive in a pack of ten, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of the conceptual pie from one of the most influential figures in contemporary art history.
