Title: Tattooed Cow
Location: Jermyn Street
Artist: HMP Wormwood Scrubs Art Class
Matthew Cort

Matthew Cort and the inmates of Wormwood Scrubs Prison in London are the team behind this cow.

"There are over 60 separate tattoo designs on “Tattooed Cow”. About a third of these are copied from the bodies of the prison inmates, approximately a third are inmates’ own original designs, and the remainder are mostly exciting designs chosen and adapted by the group responsible for executing the work."

CowParade was included as part of the prison’s art rehabilitation programme.

This cow was one of the 60 most spectacular cows of CowParade London 2002. It was sold at a gala auction to benefit ChildLine on 10 October 2002 at Sotheby's Olympia.
