Thats the passage on which the concept was based, but its not the artist. Clue Born 1925 First artist to use everyday accessories on his sculptural pieces

But according to WB not based on anybody else's work so really can only imagine that while it might appear to be copied by the artist that you refer I can honestly say that it is not based on anything else.

I imagine now though that you are going to show me a picture of something exactly the same done 30 years ago!!

[wizzy]

If its not Rauschenbergs bicycles then who?.

[thegreatarchitect]

Never said copied. Said influenced by or inspired by maybe even unconsciously but the use of acceecaries was most definitely inspired by this artist who was the first person to use the everyday Handbag, Camera , Tin of beens, Mop etc in his piece had a big show at the Saachi Camrea should give it away

By the way - Plurker - If you are reading this pm me your address and I will send you a met peace patch. The effort in posting a actual picture of Motherwell is outstanding. Good work (winky smiley then one with glasses).

See photo above. The link is there, but I think it's pretty tenuous, why not throw is Madame Tussauds as well while you're at it.

Sorry there Doublehelix, Yes your right = Vauge to say the least, but Madam Tussards lacks all the profoundness of concept and witt both the Hansons pieces and this piece by WB have.
LOVE the use of the fold up bike
