Whereas this piece of driftwood owes the energy of its formal language enitrely to Nature, it is nonetheless pure Blum. Pulling it from Berlin's Wannsee lake circa 1970, he declared it a found sculpture. Once set up in his workroom, it remained there for over four decades, embodying, then as now, the vital pictorial identity and unabashedly gestural dynamic of his graphic œuvre. — A.H.L.
