Biography:
Edward Kienholz was an American sculptor who specialized in creating life-size tableaux pieces. His work is sometimes described as Funk art and often deals with the themes of death and decay. One of his best-known works is titled The State Hospital, and is a terrifying representation of a mental patient and his reflection, each of them having glass bowls for heads.
