This work by Donwood is from the Hail to the Thief series, a set of nine canvases painted in Radiohead's Oxford studio during the final recordings of the Hail to the Thief album. The present lot was inspired by the album tracks and the city of Kabul. The album, which debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, was released 9 June 2003, and featured a similar work from the series on the cover.
