Descrizione dettagliata lotto

In addition to the S.O.S. (Starification Object Series), Les Wollam also acquired a small postcard covered in kneaded-eraser forms that take the look of rolling hills upon a verdant green landscape from Hannah Wilke. Titled Vermont, the work illustrates Wilke’s interest in the symbolism of woman as life-giving nurturer as related to the earth goddess Gaia while also demonstrating a foreshadowing for postmodernism’s interplay of text and image.
