PUBLIC NOTES
Conceived circa 1953-1955
This work is unique
'Often some detail in one of my sculptures, a curve or a contrast that moves me, becomes the germ of a new work. I accentuate the curve or the contrast and this leads to the birth of new forms... Sometimes it will take months, even years, to work out a new sculpture. I do not give up until enough of my life has flowed into its body. Each of these bodies has a definite significance, but it is only when I feel there is nothing more to change that I decide what this is, and it is only then that I give it a name'.
(Jean Arp quoted in Herbert Read, Arp, London, 1968, p. 87).
