SPRING FEVER
If thoughts of Spring bring vibrant colors to mind, allow us to enhance your fantasies with some vivid items that have just arrived at Center44.
These large 3-D hanging “Bondo Creations” from the late-20th C. are by Eric Z. from Austin, Texas. They just flew in to C44’s
Frankly Scarlet booth. They’re made of wire, wood, paper, bondo and paint and were produced in very limited numbers. In early 2000, the artist ceased production altogether.
