The artwork titled “Door” was created by Richard Artschwager in 1987. This piece belongs to the Conceptual Art movement and is classified under the genre of sculpture.
The artwork presents a sculptural representation of a door mounted on a wall. It is meticulously crafted to mimic the appearance of a wooden door, complete with realistic wood grain patterns and a handle. The door appears to be partially open, inviting viewers to contemplate its functional ambiguity. By transforming an ordinary object into a conceptual piece, Artschwager challenges the viewer’s perception of everyday items, blurring the line between art and utilitarian design. The choice of medium and detail reflects the artist’s interest in exploring materiality and form in a seemingly mundane yet thought-provoking context.
