Lot Essay

This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being prepared by the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation.

"We are inclined to ask not whether these sculptures are distant dependents from real glasses and pots, but whether real glasses and pots may not be these sculptures' sculptural ghosts, concentrated conceptual essences of the complicated sculptural presences that we see." -Richard Morphet
