The May-5 cups end on their busiest, best-documented piece — eight photos for one cup. The body is covered in a glossy speckled turquoise-blue glaze, brushed on and left to react — crystalline and mottled, shot through with dark burst-spots that give it a starry look — with black gestural blobs and a few white gaps breaking the field. The base carries “2173” handwritten in black.
Why eight photos? Because there’s a lot to circle — a whole cup of brushed, speckled reactive blue, dark-spotted like a night sky, the most involved surface in the painted run. Piece 2173 of 10,000, listed at $21.73.
