Despite the “junk” aspect of Hirshman’s artistic stock-in-trade – alluded to in his “Bird #1” – he never had to go to the dump to find his “found objects” – they were everywhere he looked.
Following his creative drought in the previous year, 1969 was the most productive period of his career with 14 known creations.
