DescriptionThe subject was created on gold-coated glass. In Gus Foster’s words: In 1974, I took a photograph of Eric standing in his sculpture Zero Mass illuminated by one watt of light. The photo was used many times to accompany this famous conceptual sculpture of his. When working with Larry on the Solar Fountain project, he used the image once again, on glass, as a gift to me. Dr. Who was Eric's pseudonynm.
