Note du spécialiste

David Shrigley’s diptych, Happy Balls, Sad Balls shows the artist’s characteristic humour: whilst working in a seemingly abstract mode he anthropomorphizes his works and gives them individual personalities. Like the subtle differences between the similar work by Robert Rauschenberg, Factum I and Factum II from 1957, Shrigley’s diptych seems to display subtly varied ways of executing the same subject matter.
