Art Sinsabaugh 1975

"Art Sinsabaugh" is a 1975 black-and-white photograph by Mike Mandel, a conceptual artist known for his exploration of the nature of representation and photography. This work is part of a larger series of baseball card-like photographs featuring ordinary individuals. The image, reminiscent of a vintage baseball card, presents a man holding a bat, his serious expression and the text "Art Sinsabaugh" below create a sense of familiarity and a subtle humor that plays with the viewer's expectations about the nature of identity and representation. The photograph captures the essence of everyday life through the familiar trope of sports cards.
