Kerstin Brätsch

This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

Kerstin Brätsch layers spray paint over a New York Times advertisement, transforming the printed ephemera of mass media into an abstract, gestural composition. The work is then encased between Plexiglas and metal, elevating the disposable newspaper page into a preserved, object-like artifact. The accompanying certificate of authenticity becomes an integral part of the piece, playfully interrogating notions of value, authorship, and legitimacy in contemporary art.
