HODGEPODGE
Some define "hodgepodge" as a confused mixture. Ignore that and go with the "a heterogeneous (or diverse) mixture." As one is exposed to more art and is receptive to expanding beyond one's preconceived notions or a tight focus, ones aesthetic evolves and lets art from one period or genre overlap with another—either in complement or contrast. Over the last twenty-plus years, my primary focus on early treen has expanded to where it is hard to see the connections between a-to-z. However, if one looks at a-to-b, b-to-c, c-to-d etcetera the connections and overlaps make sense—like an evolving an expanding Venn diagram. This is not to say there is not a focus or discipline—there very much is! The catalog herein has a diverse mix for sure—but everything was deliberately chosen and vetted for the integrity of vision, craftsmanship, surface, and condition. Enjoy!

In 2007, the bulk of King’s estate was donated to Intuit: The Center<br />
for Intuitive and Outsider Art in Chicago.<br />
The two works herein illustrate King’s use of scrap materials and his<br />
gifted use of line and color. Like one of the works herein, King<br />
produced several works with calendar fragments. King was not<br />
ignorant of art history and contemporary art and the use of block<br />
numbers on, “Induction Center,” is likely a nod to Jasper Johns.<br />
