The artwork, titled “Toaster,” is a ready-made sculpture created by Jeff Koons in 1979 in the United States. This piece is part of the Conceptual Art movement.
The artwork features an actual toaster mounted on a wall, positioned against cylindrical light fixtures, one shining a green light and the other a warm yellow hue. The juxtaposition of an everyday kitchen appliance against an aesthetic lighting backdrop challenges the viewer’s perception of ordinary objects, elevating the mundane to the realm of high art. The inclusion of the dangling power cord further emphasizes the ready-made nature of the composition, aligning with the principles of Conceptual Art that prioritize intellectual engagement over traditional aesthetics.
