graphite & putty eraser, with watercolour pencil/30x21cm
The latest drawing in the Project is a graphite re-mediation of an
image of Roberto Telch, who was represented in both the FKS & Panini World
Cup ’74 commemorative sticker albums (our original source material being
provided by the former in this instance), & was chosen as a member of the
Argentina squad for the Finals, where, after appearing as a 67th-minute
substitute for his country in their opening match, the 2 – 3 defeat to Poland,
he played in all but one of the Argentinians’ five subsequent fixtures, missing only another loss, against Brazil.
Telch was previously featured as the subject of a drawing in an earlier
incarnation of the 1974 World Cup project, which can be found here, &, sadly, passed away very recently, in October of this year.
