Baby Rockefeller 1963

Erro's 1963 "Baby Rockefeller" is a vibrant example of the artist's signature style: a dense, playful collage of imagery. The piece is filled with a seemingly endless array of figures, animals, and objects from various sources, all seemingly randomly assembled on the canvas. This visual chaos is a hallmark of the artist's work, creating a sense of visual stimulation and cognitive overload that is characteristic of the New Realist movement. The bright colors and bold forms of the collage contribute to a sense of overwhelming energy and whimsy, creating a unique and captivating visual experience. The work's title is likely a satirical reference to the Rockefeller family, known for their wealth and power, adding another layer of meaning to the already complex composition.
