Hugh WEISS (1925-2007). Mobile consisting of a lacquered sheet metal box holding four elements with double-sided decoration: - elephant cat ; - cats sitting on the steps of a temple ; - elephant woman in cage ; - woman with double elephant head. Provenance: - Private collection of a member of the collector's collective La Peau du Chat, then by descent. Note: An American artist and painter of the strange, he gives free rein to his imagination and fantasies in reaction to a society he sees as a prison, using the cage as a metaphor for the norms that confine us.
