Catalogue Note
“Condo’s ‘unedited human disasters’ are full of manic drinkers and determined smokers…. In this context Uncle Joe is only the most blatant of many committed hedonists, a bum-like, open-air living precursor to the high rollers who both populate (and copulate) in Condo’s corporate orgies. And Uncle Joe bears his inebriation stoically and aggressively, enjoying his alternative horizontal lifestyle…” (Simon Baker, George Condo: Painting Reconfigured, London, 2015, p. 198)
