The exhibition features '1:12 Perfect World', Rhoades' scale model of his groundbreaking 1999 exhibition, 'Perfect World' at Deichtorhallen in Hamburg. Originally existing as four quarters, the sterling silver model will be brought together at Hauser & Wirth's Piccadilly gallery, viewable in its entirety for the first time.
