About the Item

To Chicago-based artist Patrick Fitzgerald, his sculptures are a means of traveling through time. Working from found materials, Fitzgerald constructs miniature soap box cars and the branded attire of their imagined drivers. Futuristic forms imbued with history, each sculpture is an exercise in imagining the future through the lens of the past – or vice versa. Entitled “Grocery-Getter," this helmet & jacket set is an homage to High-Low Foods, a Chicago-area grocery chain from the mid-20th century. Ever-appreciative of old-fashioned aesthetics, Fitzgerald captures the spirit of the grocery's painted purple facade in this colorful jacket branded with the store's quippy slogan. The phrase "BEVerly 9510" is a reference to regional phone exchanges, a recurring theme in several of Fitzgerald's works and a reflection on our ever-evolving technological landscape. Oil and mixed media on cardboard, wire, and wood.
