Red Plank

The artwork "Red Plank" is attributed to John Galliano, an artist primarily known as a highly influential British fashion designer. However, the listed creation year of 1969 for "Red Plank" predates Galliano's birth year of 1960 by nine years, making this attribution highly implausible. John Galliano's career in fashion began much later, with his graduation from Central Saint Martins in 1984 and the establishment of his eponymous label. His extensive work, as seen in the Met Museum collection, consists exclusively of fashion items like dresses, ensembles, hats, and shoes, created from the mid-1980s onwards. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that "Red Plank," a sculpture made of "Wood, fiberglass and lacquer," is a work by the renowned fashion designer John Galliano. This piece does not align with his known artistic practice or timeline.
