Patrick Caulfield 'DEAD' Grave

myminifactory

Patrick Caulfield was a man of few words, despite being often associated with the 'Pop' art movement. He rejected the label, yet shared with his peers a detached and objective style in his artwork. Caulfield lived in Belsize Park, north London, making it only fitting that he chose to be laid to rest in Highgate Cemetery. However, his memorial is an unexpected surprise. Designed by himself, it stands out as the only one of its kind. The letters D E A D are carved through a sleek slab of stone, presenting a stark fact with the same objectivity found in his paintings. Caulfield's memorial reveals much about a man who rarely showed his inner emotions.
