One of the most astounding pieces in the show is the gargantuan Purple / Red / Gray / Orange (Fig. 5), which, at 18 feet long and five feet high, is the largest print ever attempted at Gemini, and truly the equal of any of Kelly's work in any medium. (artinprint.org)
The most astounding piece on exhibit was a bronze apple tree with truncated limbs to which were affixed 400 real, rotting apples, which attracted fruit flies. (lehmannmaupin.com)
