Lot Essay

"The early colored sculptures came about when I ran out of the material I'd been working with before, iron rod. This was in 1957 or 1958. Then, all of a sudden, it occurred to me one day that all this material was just lying all oover the place. I saw the material as other people's idea of waste."
John Chamberlain
