George Condo — The Lawyer
George Condo

The Lawyer

2002

A commanding patinated bronze sculpture by George Condo, *The Lawyer* brings the artist's signature psychological intensity into three-dimensional form, rendering a distorted, enigmatic figure with unsettling humor and dark wit. The work reflects Condo's hallmark fusion of classical sculptural tradition with grotesque caricature, evoking both authority and absurdity in equal measure. Rich, oxidized tones of the patinated surface lend the piece a sense of age and gravitas, underscoring the tension between institutional power and human dysfunction that pervades Condo's broader practice.
