The girl stands near the centre, about 30 by 59 cm, sprayed in black and white, and a soft pink heart hovers to her right. The plywood has a slight bow. It is set in a deep black frame of 90 by 100 cm with a brass title plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn English collector held the board from 2005, which dates the painting before that year. It is among the largest portable pieces of its kind, and the keeper states plainly that no Pest Control certificate exists for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Image and Its Street Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe child in an oversized coat and an antique diving helmet is one of the stranger and more tender figures in the repertory, a small person armoured against a world that is too much for her. It is seen far less often than the balloon or the rat. Road signs were among the first surfaces the artist used. An altered sign works twice: once as an order from the state, and once as the joke that undoes it. Signs made for English councils carry the label of their maker on the back, and that label is part of how these pieces are read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diver Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupport:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plywood board, 75 x 92 cm (29.5 x 36.2 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImage:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 30 x 59 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spray paint and stencil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e East London, before 2005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 x 100 cm (35.4 x 39.4 in), black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes are measured by hand; please allow a small margin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKept as it left the street: weather, scratches, old fixings and paint loss are part of its history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo restoration is noted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB (good)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is offered as a street work by the artist on the strength of its recorded history, the marks it carries and the papers shown in the photographs.
