 Item — Box 108
Identifier: CC-27394-28435
Scope and Contents

This sculpture is based upon a drawing which was the cover of an exhibition announcement card by the Galerie Lara Vincy in Paris. The Sackners tried to purchase the drawing but it was sold before they an opportunity. However, Lilian Vincy promised to reserve a the sculpture once it had been executed. The work consists of two metal cases one riding atop the other, connected together with a common electric power supply. The top case, engraved L'homme (the man) has a single on-off switch. The bottom, higher in heighth case, which is engraved La femme (the woman), has a plethora of switches, dials, and lights. In this piece, Levy has "hit the mark" in distinguishing between the mentality of the sexes. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
