The Sad, Ecstatic Passions of Carol Rama
- teh_klev 9y agoI presume the "lady's pump" mentioned here: "She once crafted a bronze sculpture of a penis nestled inside a lady’s pump" ...means an item of footwear and not a different kind of pump? I did google/bing image search this, but the results almost made my eye's fall out :/
- phaemon 9y agoYes, it's a "court shoe": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_shoe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_shoe The piece is called "Scarpa" if you want to search for it. :)
- theoh 9y agoPreviously aware of Rama through a show in Dublin. While it's anathema to the art world to make moral judgements, Rama is problematic. "Yet Rama, whose mother was committed to a psychiatric clinic when the artist was a child, saw it as a place of great vibrancy and liberty" Who can endorse that perspective, or want to spend time around it?
