Who's Modernized (Small Beast) is from Simon Fujiwara's series recreating iconic art works by modern and contemporary artists through the perspective of his cartoon figure Who the Bær. The sculpture draws on Alexander Calder's metal sculptures. Iconic and enormously popular, Calder's works range from the miniature to the monumental. Fujiwara has modified the characteristic shapes found in Calder, as well as adding a pink element, representing Who's uncontrollable tongue, and, similar to the elder artist's early work, introducing abstracted figurative elements in which one can recognize Who with his raised hands in a gesture of exasperation.
