7 pyramide in form einer achtelskugel
Sir Eduardo Paolozzi ; Kelpra Studio Ltd, London
Description
Subject Matter:
As one of the founders of the Independent Group, Paolozzi was an early British Pop artist. This series of ten prints came after his travels in California, where he visited tourist sites like Disneyland, Frederick's of Hollywood and Paramount Studios, as well as centers of technology: UC Computer Center, Standord's Linear Accelerator center, Douglas Aircraft Company and the GM Assembly Plant in Hayward. The combination of imagery from popular culture and the technological imagery of dot matrixes and circuit boards creates a stage in which art and science can be in dialogue.
The artist's inscription on this print refers to Professor Emerita, Diane M. Kirkpatrick, who was the Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of History of Art at the University of Michigan from 1968 to 2000.
