Rirkrit Tiravanija

graphite on paper, in artist's frame

2001

Rirkrit Tiravanija's *graphite on paper, in artist's frame* (2001) exemplifies the Thai-American artist's conceptual approach by foregrounding the materials and process of creation rather than a traditional subject. The work's title functions simultaneously as its description, collapsing the boundary between the object and its documentation. Housed in a frame chosen by the artist himself, the piece invites reflection on authorship, presentation, and the institutional framing of art.
