*Lucy Casson studied at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts and at the Hereford College of Art. Her work is highly sought after by private collectors and institutions including the Victoria & Albert Museum. She utilises various found objects; tin cans, sheet metal, wood and wire to create her wonderfully humorous pieces which are in essence three dimensional cartoons of everyday situations often involving endearingly naughty dogs.
*Artists Resale Rights applies to this lot. *CR The top of the turret is a little damaged and dented and needs a little work, general wear and tear in places as you would expect over time.
This used to be illuminated, powered by a car battery inside. One tube has blown the other seems ok, it needs completely re wiring if it is to be illuminated again.
