Peter Tangen Painting “Paty, Maxene & Laverne” 1992
Originally titled “hands” this piece was soon changed to Paty, Maxene & Laverne.
I was driving through the California desert and happened on a small town junk store, I decided to check it out and found nothing but garbage. As I was leaving I discovered a small bundle of Barbie arms held together by an old rubber band and I knew my Dad would appreciate them and would probably add them to his collection of trolls, the ones he’d cut the hair off of. I remember the mischievous look in his eyes when I gave Dad the little arms, he said that he liked them very much. He didn’t need much but he appreciated found objects like these and was amused by the idea of my discovery of disembodied doll arms, on a shelf, in the desert, for sale.
For the next few years those little arms lived on one of his shelves alongside the trolls and other small valueless objects he collected. Later he showed me this piece, one of two he’d made with Barbie parts. He said that it was called “Paty, Maxene and Laverne” as though it could have no other name. The Andrews Sisters. Now this piece stays with me in whatever home I have as a reminder of his dry sense of humor, his whimsy, and mostly because I claim no credit for anything he ever created but am attached to this piece as the provider of the source material. It makes me feel close to him now.
