Lot description

ANGELA CONNER (BRITISH B. 1935)FIVE O'CLOCK SHADOWBronze with a gold patina on a marble base 90 x 44.5cm (35¼ x 17½ in.)Executed in 1986. From an edition of 8. Conner encourages the viewer to constantly assess and question the power of the element in nature around us. This shadow sculpture is an excellent example of her exploration of the effects of the sun. As the sun moves it changes the shape of the shadow thrown by the sculpture. The ragged edges of the crown are untidy and chaotic which throughout the day resolve itself into a beautiful clean lined circle. The present work is a maquette for a large outdoor sculpture.
