About the Item

Artist: Robert Morris Title: Roller Disco: Cenotaph for a Public Figure Year: 1980 Medium: Silkscreen, signed and numbered in pencil Edition: 180 Paper Size: 26 in. x 32 in. (66.04 cm x 81.28 cm) Text: The individual's favorite possessions-- the golf clubs, the shoes, the tie pin, the Ferrari, the bowling ball, the art collection, etc. --are carefully sawed in halves. The edges of the cuts are filed or otherwise cleaned to reveal precise cross-sections of the objects which are embedded in a transparent plastic matrix. The objects are arranged so that the cross-sections face upward. The matirx forms a vast circular floor and a top layer of smooth, indestructible, transparent plastic is poured as a finish surface. A large building is erected over this floor, a building held up with a maze ofelaborate wooden trusses. No pole or column interrupts the floor. The appropriate decor and sound system are installed. A suitable name is found. A discrete advertising campaign is initiated. Only the highest quality roller skates are allowed on the floor. Printer: Styria Studios, NYC Reference: Fig. 43 in "Robert Morris: Estampes et Multiples 1952-1998, Catalogue Raisonne" by Christophe Cherix, Geneve et Chatou 1999.
