The artwork named “Chair/Chair,” created by Richard Artschwager in 1987, is a sculptural piece belonging to the Conceptual Art movement. This genre of art emphasizes the ideas and concepts behind the work over traditional aesthetic and material concerns.
The artwork features a uniquely crafted chair with a fusion of natural and geometric forms. The seat and backrest appear to be cushioned with a material that resembles animal hide, adding an organic element to the piece. The arms and legs of the chair are constructed from wooden elements, exhibiting sleek, curved lines and a polished finish. The overall design of the chair challenges conventional perceptions of furniture, positioning it within the realm of art rather than mere functionality.
