<p>The friendship between Roth and Richard Hamilton was confirmed in the dedication of works between one another.<i> Big Tardt for Richard</i> is one of these. Roth’s fondness for word-play, often across several languages, is evident in this title which plays on the pastry (seen in the middle with a sausage on top) and a dismissive terms for loose woman (whose breasts stand up beyond). The outline of a figure in the foreground may conflate the two artists, as Roth’s self-portraits often feature the protruding ears.</p><p><em>Gallery label, March 2007</em></p>
