Synopsis
One of the pioneers of contemporary object and installation art, Richard Artschwager's three-dimensional paintings and two-dimensional sculptures wittily evoke associations with commonplace objects such as furniture and household appliances. Accompanying essays consider Artschwager's artistic development, the meaning of surface quality in his work, and his place within the context of relevant art movements.

About the Authors
Richard Artschwager was born in 1924 in Washington, D.C., and grew up in New Mexico. He began his studies at Cornell University in 1941 but was called into service for World War II. In 1950 he moved to New York, where he began to design and build furniture, a commercial venture which held great influence over his early sculpture. Artschwager's work is found in the collections of such institutions as The Museum of Modern Art, New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
Anthony Vidler is Dean of the Cooper Union School of Architecture and former professor and chairman of the Department of Art History and Architecture at the University of California, L.A. He is widely known for his essays on issues at the heart of the most pressing debates surrounding architecture today.
John Yau is a poet and critic. He is the author of many books, including The Passionate Spectator: Essays on Art and Poetry, Paradiso Diaspora, and Borrowed Love Poems, as well as contributions to monographs and exhibition catalogues on Joan Mitchell, Juan Usle, Jessica Stockholder, Wifredo Lam, and Hiroshi Sugimoto. Since 2004, he has been the Arts Editor of The Brooklyn Rail. He has taught at the University of California, Berkeley, Yale University, and the Maryland Institute College of Art, and is currently an Associate Professor of Critical Studies at Mason Gross School of the Arts (Rutgers University). He received a Guggenheim Fellowship in Poetry in 2006-2007.
