‘Wine’ is in an edition of two.
The sculpture comprises two perspex sheets attached to a structure of diagonal steel tubes which form a cross. Unlike ‘Trireme’, the metal structure does not enclose a volume of space. The artist said that this was the first work in which he had not only raised the coloured sheets from the ground but also had not attempted to contrast them to solid volumes of colour as he had done in ‘Quinquereme’. In this sculpture areas of space are defined only by thin colour sheets. In this work the sheets are only ¿ in. thick, instead of the ¼ in. thickness which he uses usually so that the sheets may curve to accord with the steel poles.
