Notes:
[1] It is unclear whether the artist or his gallery, Park Place Gallery, actually owned the work when it was sold to the Museum. One 1967 exhibition catalogue indicates that the sculpture was lent courtesy of Park Place Gallery, while another 1967 exhibition catalogue indicates that the sculpture was lent by the artist [Tuchman, Maurice, ed. "American Sculpture of the Sixties." Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1967, p. 54; Rauh, Emily. "7 for 67: Works by Contemporary American Sculptors." St. Louis: City Art Museum of Saint Louis, 1967, unpaginated]. In any case, the invoice recording the Museum's acquisition of the object is signed by John Gibson of the Park Place Gallery [SLAM document files].
