Christie's would like to thank Caroline Thorman of Ron Arad Associates for her assistance with the cataloguing of this lot.
“You have to stop yourself from dripping. You don’t want the piece to be too Pollocky. It’s very difficult for me not to Pollock, because that stuff I use drips like honey, and it’s very seductive. What I am painting on isn’t transparent, but it’s like drawing on glass. It’s not like painting on a chair, but building the coloured layers from the outside in. I start painting it inside the mould, layer by layer, in varying degrees of transparency, covering the mould that you can see through the layers that were trapped in that mould. Only then can you see what you’ve got.” Ron Arad
