Apartment House
1967
A stark, monochromatic depiction of a nondescript residential building rendered in Artschwager's characteristically cool, detached style. The use of acrylic on Celotex — a fibrous building material — reinforces the work's architectural subject matter, blurring the boundary between painting and the constructed environment. The artist's frame further asserts the object's physical presence, challenging conventional distinctions between image and thing.
