How do we recognize a table? How do we reproduce it graphically? When does a table become a sculpture? Richard Artschwager's work has always been about perceiving and representing the ways we see. It is not the object itself that is of interest but rather the ways we interpret and use them in different contexts. His visual analysis--investigations into scale and perspective, space and surface--is merely held up by such expressive elements as color and style. Handed down conventions and social codes are revealed as determinants of the way we see the world, and thus of the world itself. And so a frame draws our attention to what lies within it, an exclamation mark to the words that precede it. Artschwager questions these rules and in so doing, reveals their very presence. Up and Down... presents the artist's drawings in a wood grained slipcase characteristic of many of his sculptures. Edited by Dr. Ariane Grigoteit and Friedhelm Hütte. ~Essays by Ingrid Schaffner and John Yau. Slipcased, 6 x 8.25 in./62 pgs / 20 color.
