JG BALLARD Car Accident 1973, 2010

Exhibition poster published by Gagosian Gallery, London, for Crash: Homage to J.G. Ballard, held February 11–April 1, 2010. The poster features a grid of black-and-white photographs taken by J.G. Ballard of his Ford Zephyr after his car accident in 1973.

Presented like a forensic archive, the images document damaged details of the car—dented panels, broken glass, crumpled metal, and interior views—connecting directly to Ballard’s fascination with automobiles, technology, violence, and modern psychology. The repeated photographic format gives the poster a stark conceptual presence, balancing documentary realism with the visual language of contemporary art.

Printed on glossy paper, this poster has strong appeal for collectors of Ballard, conceptual photography, automotive imagery, and exhibition ephemera. Please note: this example has visible fold lines, consistent with how it was issued or handled. Framing available upon request.
