Acquisition, Deassession, Wild Goose Chase is a commentary on the acquisition of artwork from museums that is the center of hot debate in the art world.

Made of printed steel from vintage doll houses and recycled tin cans, the green surface is covered with custom decals of $1.00 and $20.00 dollar bills. Triangles with images of famous paintings are continually added (acquired) and others are removed (deassessioned) from the piece. The quilt pattern of triangles is called "Wild Goose Chase." The entire "collection" of triangles with famous paintings accompany this piece.

Represented Artists: Paul Cezanne, John Constable, Sir John Singleton Copley, Edgar Degas, James Drummond, Goya, Gainsborough, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Frederick William Hayes, William Hogarth, Winslow Homer, Georges Innes, Carl Larson, Peder Severin Kreyer, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Nattier, Pablo Picasso, Auguste Renoir, Rembrandt, George Stubbs, Tardell, James Tissot, Jean Antoine Watteau.

Dimensions: 12" H x 12" W x 12" D

This sculpture is available for purchase or exhibition.

The bas-relief building is constructed with great detail from the same vintage steel dollhouse material. As it wraps around the corner of the cube, it is supposed to depict the U.S. mint as printed on $20 dollar bills.

I regularly take off the triangles and replace them with even better paintings.

The cube shape used in the series "A Pedestal for a Woman to Stand On" is both a square (the basic structure of quilts) and a feminist response to minimalist sculpture.
