Lot Essay

"Chamberlain’s highly colored surfaces convey both lushness and impurity; the physicality of his forms suggests flux, dynamism and individual rhythms. They come from an urban society where there are no pure surfaces, no still forms." (W. Hopps, John Chamberlain: Sculpture 1970s & 1980s, Houston, 1987, p. 4)
