Lot Essay

Paolozzi made the 'Walkman' - first marketed by Sony in 1979 - the subject of other bronze heads in 1984. For a variation on it see the exhibition catalogue 'Eduardo Paolozzi, Recurring Themes' (Edinburgh, 1984, p. 46, no. A125).

We are very grateful to Robin Spencer, author of the forthcoming Paolozzi catalogue raisonné, for providing the catalogue entry for lots 227-234.
