Lot Essay

There are six in the edition of this 1969 sculpture, only one was actually borrowed for the infamous scene in Kubrick's 1969 `A Clockwork Orange'. Another of this edition sold at Philips in New York in 2010 for $25,000. Despite not being the actual piece used in the film, the sculpture is a rare connection to A Clockwork Orange and memorabilia rarely comes to the market.
