Critical Review
Harland Miller produced 250 editions of this print during the coronavirus pandemic for White Cube. All proceeds of the original sale were donated to the National Emergencies Trust in the UK, the New York Community Trust and Hands On Hong Kong. Some of the UK donations also benefitted the York Teaching Hospital Charity to support National Health Service staff across Harland Miller's homeland of Yorkshire.
Miller first thought of the words "Who Cares Wins" whilst caring for his father suffering from dementia, “at the time the phrase worked like a five second pep talk to myself, to keep caring, because really that’s all I could do... sitting here in my flat, nursing mercifully mild symptoms of Covid-19, I see from the lowering sun outside, it’s been a while since I wrote that last line… this inertia maybe a symptom of Covid-19, but it may also be that then—as now—caring is all we can do. And caring for the carers… is, I imagine, one of the ways we can do this best.”
