Sitting On A Step

White Frame Included

This limited-edition print, unique to colette, features cult Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama. Sorayama was asked by Sony Corporation in the late 1990s to build an organic robotic form. It went on to become the iconic "AIBO" dog, which is now in the MOMA and eventually the Smithsonian Institute of Technology's collection. In the late 1970s, he began to construct a series of feminine robotic figures, anatomically perfect in form but looking to have been fashioned of molten silver, intrigued by the effects of light on various metallic surfaces and always ready for challenges to his technique and imagination. To characterize them, the phrase "sexy robot" was coined.
