THE ILLEGAL OPERATION - 1962

Free standing, shopping cart, furniture, concrete, medical instruments.

“The Illegal Operation” is an incredible outburst of violent despair despieting the instant after a ferocious seizure of life. It stands uncompared in modern art because of its extreme agony. Further words here seem unnecessary.
