Credit Line: Bequest of Alexander and Henrietta W. Hollaender
Accession Number: 1992.209
Artist attribution changed on 09/14/2020. via Katherine Alcauskas: "I think the artist listed for object # 1992.209 is wrong. It currently lists artist as Sadami Azuma (1928-2006). I believe the correct artist is Kengiro Azuma (1926-2016), a Japanese sculptor active in Italy in the 1960s. The gallery from which the Hollaender’s purchased the work showed this artist (in a solo show in 1962, and group shows in 1962 and 1966), rather than Sadami. See p. 68 in the attached catalogue [Musuem of Modern Art. "The New Japanese Painting and Sculpture: An Exhiibition." New York: Doubleday, 1966.] for a bio." -added 4/23/21, it seems that the title and date of this piece were also incorrect due to transposing info from wrong record upon acquisition. Following research done by PA Katie Gallman, Title was updated from Untitled to "S-68" and date updated from 1968 to "ca. 1959-61" - it's unclear within this window of time when the piece was made - see correspondence in object file.

An invoice from Juen 18, 1962 found in the object file identifies this as a unique cast.
