"My painting 'Is this what Uncle Frank was talking about? " from 1999 is a very popular painting. I could have sold it many times, but for sentimental reasons I can not part from it. This is a painting of a Mercedes car, once a status symbol, but now in disrepair and disuse, and abandoned in a barn. "Uncle Frank" is a reference to the deceased composer and guitarist Frank Zappa.The car’s license plate bears his initials, flanked by his birth and death years."
