...poor are lucky to get by from day to day, middle-class parents have their eyes on something else-the future, which becomes concretely symbolized in the child: through him, through her, one can get hold of the future, secure it, possess it, mold it, ensure it. With the decline of religion and an increasing affluence, the happiness, security and welfare of children become for many a major obsession which, in turn, has a broad and strong impact on the way children look, play, get educated and, not least, are treated at home.

Each mold makes a particular kind of scratch on the surface of the piece, which an uninitiated viewer can easily overlook...
...excellent but outrageously expensive catalogue, likes to draw a parallel between this collection and the pieces by the late sculptor David Smith which critic Clement Greenberg recently took it upon himself to repaint. Each of the statues in this show was similarly refinished when it came from its mold--the caster added details, smoothed the finish, destroyed the mystique of the artist...
