Dedication to Madame Recamier 1994

Vasiliy Ryabchenko's 1994 work, "Dedication to Madame Recamier," is an installation piece that employs found objects and mixed media. The piece features a large abstract form, reminiscent of a stylized figure, mounted on the wall and a chair placed in front of it. The abstract form is covered in a textured material with a patterned design, possibly fabric, while the chair is adorned with draped fabric. The arrangement suggests a theatrical or ceremonial setting, inviting viewers to consider the relationship between the object, form, and the act of dedication.
