拍品專文

In 1955 Paolozzi took up a post teaching sculpture at St Martin's School of Art. During the next three years he developed a new style of sculpture that consisted of encrusted reliefs collaged together, using various objets trouvés such as 'dismembered lock, toy frog, rubber dragon, toy camera, clock parts, broken comb, parts of a radio, an old RAF bomb sight' (Uppercase, no. 1, 1958, unpaginated). His intention though is to unite the elements into a whole, 'to achieve a metamorphosis of quite ordinary things into something wonderful and extraordinary that is neither nonsensical nor morally edifying' (see E. Roditi, Dialogues on Art, London, 1960, p. 155).
