Object Details
- Luce Center Label
- In Two Bottles, the imposing form and rough surface evoke a cracked and fissured cliff face. The overlapping shapes suggest abstract figures, and Watkins uses limited color to highlight his subtle lines and variations in tone.
- Luce Object Quote
- “I am intrigued by the familiarity of still-life objects and their evocative potential. Cast crystal illuminates all subtleties. I am interested in the transformation of the prosaic into the poetic in the simplest way.” James Watkins, Heller Gallery, 1990
