No.
But the abstraction realism...
Just the sculpting of it is pretty fantastic.
Yeah.
I could imagine hoisting that over one's head, feeling pretty darn good.
It looks like a kitsch Italiano kind of a sculptor's idea in the 70s of what abstraction would look like.
Frankly, I don't like to talk this way, but it looks like an uncircumcised penis, the skin being pulled back.
I think that's absolutely correct.
Yeah, and you just have to say what things look like.
It's all gold.
Yep, 18 karat.
18 karat, and it's got a base.
We don't know why.
The artist never asked himself about it.
He just wanted to do that, so he put it on a dumb base, and that's what it is.
I wonder if other trophies have given the base more thought, or maybe the thought comes delivered whole, as if from the universe, where...
No one else will ever notice the base except, you know, a pointy-headed art critic.
It's a Neo-Greek revival, Neo-Fascisti.
It's a woman, not bare-breasted, but with enormous breasts held in by her toga, with her arms holding an urn filled with the deceased's ashes.
And she's got great wings.
