Richard Artschwager



-Above is a piece (Table with Pink Tablecloth) by Richard Artschwager, a painter and sculptor who created pieces that ranged from forms of tables, chairs and doors. All of these objects were made very geometrically and had a sort of distortion added to them. One piece by him in particular that I like is the one below because he starts to incorporate the wall into adding an element of dimension to the piece and give it a sense of illusion to actually look like a chair. 



-Below is a link to a New York Times article written about Artschwager after he passed away.
