Lot Essay

"Most of Condo’s portraits from [1983] feature figures rendered in ways that straddle disparate conventions and genres. Their uncertain coding often translates into psychological terms: a given figure’s ambiguous pictorial identity can read like a visual analogy for some kind of borderline self or off-the-radar mental predicament." (R. Rugoff, George Condo: Mental States, New York, 2011, p. 15)
