Al Hansen was an early member of the Fluxus Art Group and a pioneer in the fields of performance art and “Happenings.” His body of work includes numerous collages predicated on Venus of Willendorf, as in the present work. He sought to draw a connection between those first primal art instincts and his own body of work.
