 "This is a monochromatic close-up portrait of the post-modern persona. He’s painted white, with dramatic black makeup, and a pattern of small black spots covering his hands and adorning his face. His extra-long eyelashes reach forward, out of the plane of the hologram and into the viewer’s space."  

This is one of the most well-known holographic celebrity portraits ever recorded and made available for public display and sale. The fully dimensional hologram has been exhibited worldwide in museums and art galleries since 1985, receiving acclaim by both the technical and artistic communities. 

Each hologram was individually copied onto a laboratory grade  glass plate coated with an ultra-high resolution, photosensitive emulsion in a (1980s) state-of-the art holography studio.  " ... transferred from pulsed ruby laser master using a 50mW He-Ne laser, size 50×60 cm portrait. "

•  "This portrait is part of a series of at least three holograms made by Edwina Orr (in collaboration with Boy George) at Richmond Holographic Studios."   
• Judging from the known edition numbers of this pose, It is the opinion of several experienced hologram buyers and sellers that considerably less than the full  edition was ever produced.  "Probably less than 50" is one knowledgeable estimate. (We've never seen a high number either.)
