Me Two Clowned

1973

photographic mixed technique 50x100x6 cm

Dedicated to John Gurdon

This work is dedicated to Sir John Gurdon of Oxford and Cambridge Universities, who was the first person to clone an animal (he cloned a frog in 1958).

Here we see the artist Lorenzo cloned and clowned. One version of him is a Pierrot, the other sports the clown’s classic red nose, but with a lipstick kiss in place of Pierrot’s characteristic tear.
