19 ROBERT HODGINS King and Queen of Spain inscribed with the title, signed and dated 2003 on the reverse oil on canvas 91 x 121 cm Kilbourn Collection “Hodgins liked to poke fun at people in positions of power, showing up their Ubu- like qualities. ‘The King of Spain, they say, is run mad … and the Queen, no better.’ Their haughty demeanour notwithstanding, they are but actors in a play.” FK
