Fold-out invitation card to an exhibition titled "Richard Artschwager: New Work" held at New York's famed Gagosian Gallery from April 5-May 4, 2002. Per Gagosian's website "Richard Artschwager forged a unique path in art from the early 1950s through the early twenty-first century, making the visual comprehension of space and the everyday objects that occupy it strangely unfamiliar. His work has been variously described as Pop art, because of its derivation from utilitarian objects and incorporation of commercial and industrial materials; as Minimal art, because of its geometric forms and solid presence; and as conceptual art, because of its cool and cerebral detachment. But none of these classifications adequately define the aims of an artist who specialized in categorical confusion and worked to reveal the levels of deception involved in pictorial illusionism." The invitation card depicts "Chair (Miles)" an acrylic and photographs mounted on wood; like a pop-up book it opens out into a three-dimensional representation of the piece. Light bumping and rubbing to extremities.
