Mona Hatoum — T42; and T42 (gold)
Mona Hatoum

T42; and T42 (gold)

Mona Hatoum's "T42; and T42 (gold)" consists of a pair of delicate stoneware vessels comprising matching cup and saucer forms, with one iteration distinguished by refined gold detailing. The work exemplifies Hatoum's practice of investing everyday domestic objects with conceptual weight and aesthetic refinement, transforming utilitarian ceramics into art multiples. Through the subtle variation between the two editions, the artist explores themes of repetition, value, and the charged relationship between the ordinary and the precious.

Medium
Two fine stoneware multiples in two parts (cup and saucer), one with gold trim.
