Specialist note
Toaster reflects Hamilton's interest in consumer culture and modern design. He wrote about the chief designer of the electrical goods company Braun: 'My admiration for the work of Dieter Rams is intense and I have for years been uniquely attracted towards his design sensibility; so much so that his consumer products have come to occupy a place in my heart and consciousness that the Mont Sainte-Victoire did in Cezanne's.'
