GEORGE SEGAL (AMERICAN 1924-2000)Girl on a Chair, 1970plaster and painted wood assemblage91.4 x 61 x 29.9 cm (36 x 24 x 11 3/4 in.)with incised signature on the plaque at the reverse, numbered 116/150, published by Editions Alecto, London, in very good condition LOT NOTES George Segal, an American sculptor associated with the Pop Art movement, is best known for his human cast figures. His career, defined by the use of plaster bandages to create life-size sculptures, spanned over the course of five decades. Segal`s artistic epiphany came to him in 1961, when he created his first cast sculpture, Man Sitting at a Table, using himself as the model. Segal expanded upon and continued this practice, using his friends as models and creating large figural compositions. Upon wrapping his model in bandages and adding plaster, Segal subsequently removed the dried material and reassembled the pieces. Monochrome and unembellished, the resulting sculptures, which Segal calls situation sculptures, are often placed in public spaces, such as a bench or a sidewalk. In other instances, when there is only one figure, such as with Girl on a Chair, Segal creates the environment for the figure himself.
