Joseph Kosuth's work is another piece I found white reading artist books, his work found in 'Themes of contemporary art'. His work titled 'one and three chairs' aims to make the audience question his work, asking which piece is really the chair? Is it really important? and is it art? The installation is set up so the three pieces of artwork become one, from left to right there is a photograph of the chair, the chair itself and then a dictionary definition of a chair. I find the idea of the chair fascinating and how the object becomes very important, even if it is a description of a chair or a photograph of one, it still is as important as the oringinal, if not more important.
Jasper Johns work 'Painted bronze, savarin can with brushes 1960' is a piece which interested me because of how its looks real, looking like a painting, a sculptre and the real object all at the same time, questioning what art is, linking to joseph kosuth's too. The reason however to why I picked to look at this work is because of the object he picked, being a sculpture of an object, which then looks like a painting, painting onto the sculture in very fine detail to make it look real.
