Bemerkung:

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Each element in the sculptures proclaims its nature: the wood; the wheel; the number; the word. Nothing is other than itself. The means are all plain. It is Indiana's particular grasp of things that allows him to lay the groundwork for new associations. He recognizes new contexts suggested by his found shapes, not for the sake of originality (though everything he does is original), but to get to the essence of things. Self-contained ideograms, Indiana's constructions are icons of geometric form and verbal unity. They are compressed images of his personal discovery of a distilled American visual language which, by being at once sensuous, refined, tough, direct, and vigorous, is as forceful as a four-letter Anglo-Saxon word.
