Notes

Literature:
James Hamilton, The Sculpture of Austin Wright , Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd., 1994, fig. 89 (Cat. 5325).

Spike is one of a number of small scale scuptures Austin Wright made in the early 1980s, that had a kinship with utensils, each having an apparent purpose which was transcended by their power as sculptures.
