Special Feature (y1971-13)

The artist’s working method begins with the execution of a small-scale maquette made of polyurethane. This model appears to have been formed simply from an attenuated bar that had been twisted, bent, stretched, curved, coiled, and knotted according to the sculptor’s whim. From the miniature working model of Upstart II, Meadmore executed a reduced version, measuring 64.7 cm. high, in an edition of four strikes.
