You Snooze You Lose is a signature work by James McQueen. This piece reimagines a classic Penguin book cover with the iconic witty phrase that first originated in 1968.Hand-finished in mixed media on watercolour paper, the work showcases a bold red palette with distressed areas of grey paint, evoking the textured, worn look of a vintage book cover. This piece is one of McQueen’s highly collectible works, valued for its internationally recognised phrase and unique, personalised touches, including being signed and numbered by the artist.
