About the Item

Motorcycle compression Sculpture, 1975 Edition : 100 Publisher : Harry N. Abrams (New York) 23.00 cm. x 38.00 cm. 9.06 in. x 14.96 in. (image) 52.00 cm. x 62.00 cm. 20.47 in. x 24.41 in. (frame) Handsigned by the artist in pencil Compressed plastic toy on painted panel in case. Edition to 100 copies all different. César questions the boundary between the artistic work and the everyday object. Using a compressed plastic toy integrated into a painted work, he encourages us to reflect on childhood, memory and the passage of time. Here, the plastic motorcycle becomes a metaphor for society: crushed, transformed and enclosed in a rigid frame. The toy's compression echoes the idea of modern society, where individuality is often compressed in favor of uniformity. Ref : LCD5442
