Chair Transformation #7
Lucas Samaras American, born Greece
Not on view
This chair represents a pivotal moment in Samaras' career, as he began exploring ways to transform everyday objects into works of art. The artist intended to de-familiarize the viewer by bringing together unexpected materials that unhinge the object from its traditional context. The stark, singular color of Chair Transformation #7 resonates with the reductive palette of Minimalism, while the excessive, exaggerated boldness of materials hearkens to the vocabulary of Pop.
