Sarcophagi in Glass Houses, 1989
Wood, glass, and iron
8'6 1/2" x 17'2 1/2" x 143'3"
To make this large four-part work, the prominent contemporary Polish artist reworked turn-of-the-century industrial molds from a French manufacturer, and created forms that evoke simultaneously the image of ancient sarcophagi and the human figure.
