Holiday Wish List Pick: Barry X Ball, Golden Honeycomb Calcite Bust
Why He Wants It:
"I have been lecherously eyeing Barry's stunning busts, etched from rare marbles and semi-precious stones, ever since first ogling his works in Venice two years ago. I have collected busts since first witnessing their eclectic assembly at Sir John Sloane's museum.
These works by Barry X Ball have a modern production technique and twist, whilst nodding to the ancient portrait form. He is a thoroughbred from the esteemed Sperone and Westwater stable."
