Lot Essay

"To follow the aesthetic truism that significant works of art must contain a paradox, the enduring achievement of John Chamberlain's sculpture may be said to lie in its capacity to encompass the most fundamental of paradoxes: reconciling the complexity of nature with the most culturally inflected materials." (T. Crow in John Chamberlain: New Sculpture, exh. cat., Gagosian Gallery, New York, 2011, p. 4)
