Polich Tallix: George Condo








"Aside from notable painting career, Condo has been molding and casting bronze portrayals of his imaginary people. First appearing in 2009, The Butcher and his Wife is a traditionally cast bronze patinated sculpture of two lovers caught in the act with dumbfounded grins. Upon closer inspection, the humor of these characters’ embrace lies not only in their twisted smiles, but in the action and presence of an enormous meat cleaver sticking out of the Butcher’s head. The last time we saw Condo at Polich Tallix was during the production of this sculpture. Hatchet in hand, he put the finishing touches on this sculpture himself. Last week we had the pleasure of having Mr. Condo at the foundry while he worked in patina on his most recent body of sculpture: several sets of bronze portrait heads. The finished pieces will be on view at Skarstedt Gallery on the Upper East Side of Manhattan." (bron: Polich Tallix)
