Haim Steinbach

A minimalist shelf object by Haim Steinbach, this limited edition work — numbered 24/40 and signed and dated '90 — exemplifies the artist's signature practice of elevating everyday commodities into art through careful arrangement and presentation. Published by the New Museum, New York, the piece reflects Steinbach's ongoing investigation into consumer culture, desire, and the aesthetics of display. The work is preserved in its original wooden crate with instructions, underscoring the conceptual importance of context, packaging, and the ritual of ownership.
