This maquette was created to advertise an exhibition titled “The Age of Plastic,” held at the headquarters of the chemical industry in Paris. The uncanny image presents the material as a wonder to behold, and equates it to organic matter. Unfortunately, the world had no idea how much damage this new material would wreck on our environment.
Gouache maquette on board.
exhibited: 1947, Palais de la Defense, Paris
literature: PAI-LXXXV, 269 (var)
This work will ship from Lambertville, New Jersey.
