Artists in conversation
Marcel Duchamp
French · b. 1887
Duchamp pioneered the use of everyday manufactured objects as art through his readymades, directly anticipating Cattelan's conceptual approach of recontextualizing ordinary items and their packaging as artistic multiples.
Jeff Koons
American · b. 1955
Koons similarly transforms mass produced consumer objects into high art using pristine porcelain and industrial materials, blurring the boundary between commercial commodity and fine art object in a way that mirrors this specific piece.
Haim Steinbach
Israeli American · b. 1944
Steinbach's practice centers on presenting everyday consumer objects in their original packaging and display contexts as conceptual art, directly paralleling Cattelan's decision to preserve this porcelain and LED work within its original cardboard box.
