Work in Progress is a shared collage experiment. Kitaj and Paolozzi worked together as ‘editors’, bringing together a strange selection of found objects and images in a new context. The various elements sit within in a bespoke frame in the style of a religious altarpiece. It contains tin can covers, photographs, parts of toys and a hand-written transcription of the story The Road to Brody by the Ukrainian author Isaac Babel (1894–1940). The title of the work suggests a perpetually unfinished state: an ongoing conversation between the artists.
