For this work Bobby Baker decorated a homemade Christmas tree at the ICA with hot miniature Christmas puddings. It was created on the occasion of the Performance Art Collective’s Christmas party whose guests were encouraged to help themselves to a ‘bauble’. The Performance Art Collective was headed by the film director and screenwriter Sally Potter and hosted by the late Ted Little, who was Director of the ICA between 1974 and 1977. Members included Rose English, Anne Bean, Judith H. Katz, and Jacky Lansley.
