- Lot Description
Arneson Brick with Finger Protruding
ca 1965
Stoneware; 6, wd. 9, dp. 3 in.
In 1965, in a search for new form and content, Arneson began to make bricks. Jonathan Fineberg writes of this in his book A Troublesome Subject: The Art of Robert Arneson (University of California Press, 2013 p.65), noting The bricks were a burlesque of conventional ceramics; like the toilet it is an ordinary ceramic object that was not normally a subject for art. The brick was the basis for one of his masterpieces and largest works, Fragment of Western Civilization (1972). He worked with this format on and off, sometimes using bricks as a plinth for larger figurative work, into the 1980's.
Provenance: The Collection of Allan Stone, New York - Shipping Info
