21 Gun Salute for the Death of a Collector 2007. For his first solo show in a commercial gallery (Michael Stevenson Gallery in Cape Town), Simon Gush presented an exhibition that took the relationship between artists and collectors as a starting point. Discussions around the increasingly prominent profile of collectors in the international art-world have escalated in recent years. He approached this exhibition as a backdrop within this debate. The show comprised of a single certificate of authenticity. This sets out the terms of a contract stating that the collector who purchases the work will have a 21 gun salute performed at his/her funeral.
