MONKEYPUZZLE JIGSAW PUZZLES

"Punch and Judy Show" an Edition limited to 250 copies

Jigsaws do not need to be flat as is well illustrated by the wonderful productions of Monkeypuzzle.

The business was started by Carol Leith in the U.K. in the early 1970s and produced many jigsawn items from nameplates for children's doors to these elaborate stand-up multilayer jigsaws which were designed, cut and hand coloured by Carol herself..

 
The Limited edition puzzle arrived in a fine sliding-top box.
The box opened to reveal several layers of complete confusion.

Hours later you may have constructed a 3D interpretation of The Green Violinist by Marc Chagall.

This puzzle was only available through the Guggenheim Museum Shop.
