Untitled

<p>Artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss meticulously hand carved and painted polyurethane foam to resemble ordinary two-by-fours like one might find in an artist’s studio. Through this labor-intensive process, they mimicked the textures and imperfections of real wood with hyperrealistic precision. The resulting “functionless” work pays tribute to the readymade, a found object that is transformed into art simply by being presented as such. <em>Untitled</em> invites us to consider not only what things are but also how they come to be—and how meaning emerges in the act of making.</p>
