Description

Property from an Important West Coast Collection

“Most of the objects are fragments of actual experience. For instance, I would really think of the bakery counter; of the way the counter was lit, where the pies were placed but I wanted just a piece of the experience. From when I worked in restaurants, I can remember seeing rows of pies, or a tin of pies with one piece out of it and one pie sitting beside it. Those little vedute in fragmented circumstances were always poetic to me.”
