專家說明

In the early 1970s, the London founders, Morris Singer Sculpture Association Ltd., with Christie’s Contemporary Art, commissioned eight artists to choose a subject representative of their oeuvre, and to produce sculptures in an edition of twelve, no longer than twelve inches in width, and cast in 18 carat yellow gold. The eight artists included the most celebrated British sculptors of the time, among them: Elisabeth Frink (see lot 235), Lynn Chadwick, Barbara Hepworth, Michael Ayrton, and Kenneth Armitage.
