Richard Artschwager
Lovers by Richard Artschwager ( abstract pair embracing)

2005

About the Item

Screen print on Ries Textured Rag paper, Signed and numbered, Edition of 108 Working across all media, Richard Artschwager (1923-2013) has long specialized in the relationship between perception and deception. His print, Liebspaar (Lovers), 2005 hints at two lovers embracing, and is drawn from a series of works in which the artist focuses on a material he has used throughout his career to explore the tactility of the visual experience: rubberized horsehair. The work allows for what the artist has called a “perfect imprecision.” A material commonly found in upholstery, rubberized horsehair is typically hidden from view underneath the soft edges of a sofa. Artschwager reverses the relationship between an object and its raw materials, asking the inner-body of an object to become its own surface. His hairy silhouettes of life-size human figures seem to dance, float, climb, and rejoice; yet they remain faceless and out of reach. With forms that manage to be both recognizable and nameless at the same time, Artschwager toys with our sense of perception. Artschwager's work will be included in the upcoming exhibition: 'Making Knowing: Craft in Art, 1950–2019' at the Whitney Museum of Art: in New York, Nov 22, 2019–Feb 2022
