Hanging Man

1945
Metal
Among my experiments in the 1940s, Hanging Man, of sheet aluminum, retained its life, which warranted its being made larger in stainless steel for an exhibition at the Pace Gallery in 1974. The rightness of the original scale cannot be denied, but perhaps being big too is valid.
