- The Closet, Vanity Mirror Objet d'Art Box with Opening Door and Small PortraitsBy John SeubertLocated in Chicago, ILSelf-taught artist John Seubert, AKA John Dolly, uses objects he uncovers as he rehabs older homes in Chicago. This "closet" has a painted front panel. When opened a small mirror adorns ones side with the message - "Waiting" "Watching" and "Anticipating" on metal plaques. The interior of the closet is embellished with small portraits affixed onto a gold backdrop. The piece is mounted to a rectangular granite base. John Seubert The Closet, 2014 mixed media 15h x 9.50w x 4.50d in 38.10h x 24.13w x 11.43d cm JSE073 In the early Nineties, John Seubert was living in a former hotel in a high-rise building on St. James Place in Chicago.

At the time, John’s artwork consisted of pounding copper sheets into tables which was a noisy endeavor to say the least. Following several noise complaints from the neighbors, John had a dream that he was living in a ramshackle house but with plenty of room to work and no attached neighbors. The following day after lunching at the McDonalds in Lincoln Park, John wandered the neighborhood a came upon a shabby, falling-down old Victorian house. He located the real estate agent, put in an offer, and weeks later was pushing a shopping cart full of his belongings to his new home. This 144-year-old Painted Lady provided a blank canvas for this inimitable artist. For many years the house remained so empty that John was able to ride his Japanese fold up bike throughout the 1st floor. “Some people want to have sex...Category
