Shinkichi Tajiri Dutch-American, 1923-2009
Executed and cast c. 1974
"In 1967 I wanted to make a sculptural statement that would cut through all the mystification that I felt was invading the art scene. Sculptures that would be instantly communicable to everyone and at the same time formally timeless. This was the beginning of the Knots."
