These rectangular clay shapes, stamped with the name ARNESON, are the 42nd and 43rd in a series of 50 made by the artist in 1976. Brick Multiple, suggesting an abstract type of portraiture, implies a relationship with an earlier work by Arneson entitled Fragmellls of Western Civilization in which a brick ruin is scattered over a large space. Many of these bricks bear the imprint ARNESON, while others are marked BRICK and VIRGO, the artist's birth sign. Arneson suggests that even the most recent and substantial construction will in time decay, but nonetheless, in the wreckage the most enduring signs will be the brick and the artist's mark.

The simple definition of a chair as a movable seat, with a back, for a single person gives no indication of the truly vast range of objects that qualify under this description. Furthermore, few people today are aware of the fact that for much of its history --and chairs go back through classical times to the time of the pharaohs -the chair was reserved for kings, lords, and bishops; ordinary folk sat on backless chests, benches, or stools.
