Untitled 1994

Robert Gober's 1994 sculpture, *Untitled*, is a hyperrealistic representation of a stick of butter, meticulously crafted from wax. The butter is placed on a rectangular piece of paper with the familiar markings of a commercial butter wrapper, creating a deceptive and unsettling effect. Gober's work often explores themes of domesticity, the body, and the anxieties of everyday life, challenging viewers to consider the mundane as a site of deeper meaning. This piece, with its unsettling familiarity and uncanny reality, is a hallmark of Gober's signature style, which uses familiar objects to explore complex ideas.
