拍品专文

In discussing the strategic importance of the Stranger series in his oeuvre Bowness comments, 'Chadwick's whole career can be regarded as the progressive elimination of movement from his sculpture; it is almost as if he wished to forget his early days as an inventor of mobiles, and emphasize the static and statuesque qualities in his work. The later Strangers are attentive, apprehensive, and from 1959 onwards they are joined by a series of Watchers, who stand observant but undemonstrative, sinister, armless beings. Like many of the animals, the Strangers and Watchers seem to be tensed; waiting, aware that something is going to happen' (see A. Bowness, Lynn Chadwick, London, 1962, pages not numbered).
