The present work featured as part of a larger table installation titled Crazy Said Snow White which was exhibited at the ICA in 1960. The installation featured many items including a painted rearing spelter horse with Superman holding it back (formally in the collection of the art critic Robert Melville) and a plaster head with a medallion that is still in the Artist’s collection.
