desperate to find a finger


"the ring is desperate, desperate to find a finger"
 - karl fritsch

tarnished and ludic, the rings of karl fritsch are tempting and tactile. often silver and gold bear the imprints of his fingers, they seem modelled like clay with precious stones embedded like sultanas in soft cookie dough.

it will be very exciting to hear him discuss his work in person at objectspace, friday 4 november at 5.30pm.
