Saw Horse Piece 1967

"Saw Horse Piece" is a minimalist sculpture by Gary Kuehn, created in 1967. The work consists of a long, rectangular panel of yellow painted wood, supported by two sawhorses. Its simple form and unconventional materials reflect the artist's interest in exploring the inherent qualities of everyday objects, while questioning their traditional function. The piece's straightforward presentation invites viewers to engage with its physicality and the tension between the solid and the precarious, challenging preconceived notions about sculpture and its role in the art world.
