Shortening Pipe from the Tip-Top Bakery Building, Iron pipe, painted, with traces of antique shortening. From the former sculpture studio of Ria Blaas. 105 – 19 cm diameter.
This pipe, in a studio with abundant leaks in its ceiling, was relatively dry for two thirds of each year. In the summer when temperatures soared in the top floor, tar-roofed studio the shortening would once again become liquid and drip from the end of the pipe. No off-gassing was ever detected.
