But then, after we came back from the happy hour at the Club lounge, we found another
chocolate gift waiting for us, this time a tall
sculpture made
out of chocolate surrounded by sixteen
chocolates in the form
of a heart.
Roth (1930 - 1998), a Swiss artist already well known in 1969 for his artist books and
sculptures made with cheese,
chocolate, and other biodegradable comestibles, started
out on this particular artistic journey with a single tourist postcard
of Piccadilly Circus — one
of the first mass - consumed postcard subjects — that belonged to an extensive collection
of Piccadilly postcards assembled by the British artist Rita Donagh.
