Brian Eno’s Turntable, part record player, part acrylic sculpture with softly glowing LED lights, was produced in an edition of 50 back in 2021. “It sold out overnight,” laughs gallerist Paul Stolper. “We got the numbers hopelessly wrong.” Turntable II, now available in an edition of 150, has been updated in a number of ways, including a rounded plinth and a platter placed off centre to give the tonearm its own space.
The shifting lights have been pre-programmed by Eno to include a random element. “A key aspect of his thinking is this idea of surrender,” says Stolper. “It’s programmed, but he doesn’t know what it will do, so he’s just as much the viewer as you or I.” Brian Eno Turntable II, 2024, £20,000, paulstolper.com
