Plums (post Card Sculpture)
1975
Gilbert & George's "Plums (Post Card Sculpture)" exemplifies the British duo's conceptual approach to everyday materials, transforming a humble postcard into a three dimensional sculptural object. The work reflects their interest in elevating banal, mass produced imagery and found objects into art through recontextualization rather than traditional craftsmanship. This piece is characteristic of their practice in the 1970s and 1980s, when they frequently created sculptures and installations that interrogated the boundaries between art, commerce, and daily life.
