  • “The mirror belongs to the big family of art which is mostly blank in the middle with stuff going on at the periphery, which is the frame. The frame is a passage/transition from the art part to the outside which you can touch.”
    —Richard Artschwager

    Artschwager's multiples offer visual and analytical contradictions, subversively engaging simultaneously with the vernaculars of Pop, Minimalism, and Conceptualism: the Pop derivation from utilitarian objects, the Minimal application of industrial materials, and the Conceptual impulse to engage with the ideological structures of language. Twisting established dichotomies of artistic and industrial production, Artschwager blurs the line between what is faux versus real, handmade versus manufactured, functional versus useless, and ordinary object versus high art.
