The artwork, titled “Pianofart,” was created by Richard Artschwager in 2008 and belongs to the genre of sculpture within the conceptual art movement.
The artwork features a sculptural representation that resembles an upright piano with a minimalistic and modern form. The sculpture is primarily characterized by a rectangular structure clad in a wooden veneer, reminiscent of mid-century design. The piece showcases a portion where white, rectangular elements mimic the keys of a piano, projecting slightly from the main body of the sculpture. It stands on a plain grey floor with a stark white background, emphasizing its clean lines and the simplicity of its form. The overall appearance evokes a sense of music and the juxtaposition of functional furniture with artistic abstraction.
