Zustand: Sehr gut. 48 S. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Nederlandse en Engelse tekst. - Texts by Marja Bloem and Marjorie Allthorpe-Guyton. - Due to his choice of forms, based on objects from daily life, Bainbridge is clearly representative of his generation of sculptors, especially his English collègues Cragg, Woodrow and Wentworth. Yet, through his preferences for certain materials: wire netting, plaster and now fiberglass as well, all covered with artificial fur, Bainbridge has broken free of the confines of English sculpture long dominated by Moore, Hepworth and Caro,andhas closed ranks with American and European artists. For today's generation of sculptors as a whole, the work of Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol, has had a profound significance. The way in which Bainbridge isolates organic forms, tourist knick-knacks, and throw-away merchandise, by blowing them up enormously and assembling them in playful combinations remains a highly personal artistic adventure. The latent humour in his work seems to be connected to existential fears, which are heightened by his use of fake fur, striking a resonant note in the onlooker by their disturbing qualities.
