The 2010 Black Box shows what an elephant could look like if it took the same measures as humans to regain its youthfulness. “Improvements” include a facelift, nose job, Botox injections, lip plumping, false nails and butt implants. A corset hides the elephant’s paunch. Inscribed on the lid are the initials of nine people who have embraced plastic surgery: Michael Jackson, Donatella Versace, Jocelyn Wildenstein, Victoria Beckham, Jacqueline Stallone, Eric Sprague, Dennis Avner, Joan Rivers and Michaela Romanini. It could be argued they should have saved their money. Between the front legs you will see the name of the person who suggested the idea for this creation. In addition to the 500 signed and numbered pieces, an additional 22 un-numbered pieces in a special colorway and with a Donald Trump hairdo have been created for the House of Lords and Queen Empress dealers (one per dealer) to offer in a collector raffle.
