Rona Pondick

Sweet Tooth, 1998

Linen, acid-free binder board, basswood, rubber, plastic

Limited Edition of 35

In this work, an elegant wooden box with photographically screened linen opens up to reveal a burst of color and an enticing, sumptuous surprise. Sweet Tooth takes artist Rona Pondick's famous Little Bathers (1990-1991) to a whole new dimension, creating rubber "sweets" in a lavish setting. Known for her provocative sculptures and installations that are simultaneously hilarious and horrific, Pondick combines dissonant fragments of bodies, such as teeth and ears, with pieces of furniture and articles of clothing to make pre-verbal, visceral meanings. Published by the New Museum in a limited edition of only 35.
