Key Member 1967

"Key Member" is a 1967 sculpture by Richard Artschwager, known for his exploration of form and material. The work is a striking example of his signature style, which often utilizes unconventional materials like Formica to create deceptively simple, yet thought-provoking objects. The sculpture's "wood-grained" surface is evocative of everyday objects, blurring the lines between art and furniture. This piece is characteristic of Artschwager's exploration of minimalism and conceptualism in the 1960s, challenging viewers to consider the relationship between the commonplace and the artistic.
