Not MatchLess but Striking

not match less

 

1974

mixed technique 55x55x16 cm

Dedicated to arsonists in general and the Fireman’s Union on labor strike

 

 

In this ‘sculpture’ two hands (reflected in an age-stained mirror) strike a match.

The image in itself is not of world-shaking import. Yet its title derives from visitors’ positive reaction to this work at the Rome and Monte Carlo shows of 1975 and 1984.
