The Crisis of Western Civilization / Nikki Bell; Ben Langlands., 1983

 Item
Identifier: CC-21780-22191
Scope and Contents

The overall wall sculpture consists of cardboard, red painted, false bricks to form alters; this object has shelves to hold book objects. The center altar has a doll which appears to be an angel. The title of this work was taken from a trade edition book that constitutes an element of the sculpture. The pages of the latter are collaged with text that has been cut-up and rearranged, sometines upside down, so that it is reminiscent of a language that once might have been interpretable but can no longer now be deciphered. The book objects placed on the shelf reference this imagined civilization. One of the book objects depicts a colored collaged photographic print of the 1970's American television character, Molly Goldberg, with arms outstretched as if posing a question, enclosed within a frame dated in hand lettering as 1949. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
