Fred Pendant Necklace With Case
This is a Pendant Necklace with case. It was designed by Ted Noten. We acquired it in 2016. Its medium is fly and pearl in cast acrylic resin, cord (necklace); leatherette-covered cardbaord, artifical fur (case). It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
In the Fred pendant, Noten casts a single pearl along with a dead fly in his signature acrylic material. As he strives to expand his audience beyond collectors and museums, Noten challenges and invades our comfort zone with jarring combinations of the familiar and the incongruous.
