    " It seems to be a common mistake to associate any welded bronze sculpture with well known sculptors who worked in bronze . . .however this bronze work does not bear any resemblance to any work by Ibram Lassaw. I have no idea who created it but I am glad that the BM makes it clear that Lassaw did not make it.Should anyone have a question about works attributed to Ibram Lassaw they can contact Ibramlassaw.com thanks, DL"
