Different Kinds of Art 4

2004

"Different Kinds of Art 4" by Seth Price is a screenprint applied to vacuum-formed high-impact polystyrene, a material more commonly associated with industrial packaging than fine art. The work's thermoformed surface creates subtle topographical relief, causing the printed image to warp and shift across its contours. Price's choice of this utilitarian plastic challenges conventional notions of artistic medium and value, blurring the boundaries between commercial production and artistic practice.
