80 x 240 x 167 cm
bronze, marble
On a surface lined with quarry stones stands a table with a large marble plate, perfect for sitting at, especially during the hot summer, in order to enjoy the wooded shade of this gently sublime spot. Interesting artistic elements can be found on the underside of this work: The plate does not stand on ordinary table legs, but on cast-bronze scraps that Spoerri found. One of these bronze scrap pieces appears to have been intended for a sculpture by Arman.
The table is set with plates, glasses, jugs and a ham made from marble. These movable pieces are work samples from a studio in Carrara, where the panels for the installation “Ultime Cene” were produced (WORK 91)
