Battle of the Titans at the End of the Millenium, 2000 (aka, 3 Titans) Cast silver, black marble base; 11" high without base 3 views at Polich Art Works The forms derive from the combined Sotheby's and Christies spring and fall auction revenues from 1990-98 for three artists: Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. The regularly spaced bulges reflect the seasonal nature of auctions. I arbitrarily set a maximum of $10,000,000 to keep the dimensions within workable bounds, which distorts the history a bit: Warhol's work took in $21.02 mil in May, 1998 and John's took in $22.74 mil in November, 1997. Artistic license. The piece has been produced in an edition of ten by Polich Art Works in association with Pat Hamilton along with works of nine other sculptors including Kiki Smith, Maya Lin and Frank Stella. They were exhibited at the Baldwin Gallery in Aspen, CO from July 28 to September 7, 2000, at the Elaine Baker Gallery in Boca Raton, FL opening in November, and at the Imago Gallery in Palm Desert, CA in December.
