Even Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's wild hand-formed, fiberglass creations were never intended to sit in galleries and museums (though that's where several of them are now). They were created to get on magazine covers to help him sell more t-shirts [...] .
Det kan kanskje like gjerne hevdes at han solgte T-skjorter for å kunne bygge biler. Uansett hva som var årsak og hva som var virkning: Kule byggverk ble det.
Dette er Ed Roth's Orbitron fra 1964. 5516
