Any Art buffs in the house?

Was going to buy the framed picture in the image below but the cost gave me pause for thought. Anyway it got sold to somebody else. Am wanting to buy it now but for the life of me I can't remember the details of its name or the artist. Went back to The Conran shop where I saw it but they don't remember it. SO....

Anyone know the artist and a name for the picture in the image below....

    - I don't have a clue about art, just cropped your photo and ran it through Google Goggles...

    clever :T, althought the picture does remind me of the IRA prisoners dirty protests in the 70s.

    Spot on!
    Thanks.

    I know of google image search but didn't realise that it also worked in the way you used it. Don't know if to be scared, worried or awe inspired at Google.

    In 1948 a bloke dripped some paint on a canvas. Bloke called it "No.5". 60 odd years later "No.5" sold for $165 million.

    Arts a funny thing.

    As far as I know Google Image Search and Google Goggles are very different things - Image Search finds other instances of an identical image which is already on the Web, whereas Goggles finds images that look like another image, even if the original image is one you have provided yourself which doesn't exist on the Web.
