Lot Essay

'The sculptures are imitations of models that are recreated from scratch. They are developed in countless operations and produced using elaborate methods. Gober likes to provide information about the process of creating the works, about sources and techniques, problems and solutions, and thus emphatically direct attention away from that which is depicted to the individuality of the sculptures.'
(T. Vischer, in Robert Gober. Sculptures and Installations 1979-2007, exh. cat., Schaulager Basel, Basel 2007, p. 12).
