Lolly’s Schnozzle, 2026
(Made with Mark Quint) MATERIALS
GLASS, VITRINES, CLOWN 
NOSE & NARRATIVE

DIMENSIONS
3 x 1/2 x 1/2 FT.
First worn by the French itinerant performer Lionel “Lolly” Duvet (1898–1973), known for his meticulously timed pratfalls and an uncanny ability to trip over non-existent objects, the clown nose traces its origins to a late 1800’s improvisation. During a show, Duvet accidentally stumbled and fell flat on his face, bloodying his nose. Getting a laugh from the crowd who thought it was all part of the act, the concept of the red-nosed clown was created.

Duvet was drafted into the first World War, and carried the schnozzle on his person at all times, considering it lucky. Claiming to have avoided any injury during combat due to the presence of his red nose, he retired it 5 years later after an ill-fated, serious pie-throwing incident. Claiming that the nose’s luck had finally run out in 1923, he later donated the nose to the Ringling Brothers Museum in Sarasota, FL, under the condition that it “never be taken too seriously.”
