The artwork titled “A Vendre” was created by the artist Ben in 1971. It is a piece representative of the Conceptual Art movement and is categorized under the figurative genre.
The artwork features the French phrase “a vendre,” which translates to “for sale” in English, written in a simple, red script against a white background. The text is the central focus, emphasizing the conceptual nature of the work where the idea of commodification and the act of selling are primary subjects. The minimalist aesthetic, with its stark contrast between the text and the background, invites contemplation on the meaning and implications of art and its commercial aspects.
