Lot Essay

“To thus consider Men in the Cities in retrospect and as a unified synthesis of its elements is to behold a misplaced drama, an obsure allegory that suggests both sexuality and human mortality” (Howard N/ Fox, “In Civil War”, Robert Longo, exh. Cat., Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1989, p. 26).
