RON HASELDEN: IN THE ASKING 

Haselden has made three recent works, September at domobaal, Metro at Camden Arts Centre, London and Phare in a field in north west France. All three works use vertical metal poles to tightly hold aloft a drawing made of coloured fisherman's cord. Haselden has made much work since the 1960s. The freshness of the work has been maintained whether it is Anthony Caro, Richard Long or Richard Serra as a context. I would like to write a few lines about these remarkable works by starting a little further back in history.
