exuberant relative #1
1986
ln the late 1970s Steinbach developed a display that arranges diverse objects on Formica-covered triangular shelves.
Here, the artist has combined two hard hats, beer cans and two toilet brushes, a nod to Marcel Duchamp's Fontaine. While his work testifies to the new fetishisation of objects in a consumer society, it also marks a profound shift in the ready-made, which is not only to interpret conceptually, but also plays on shapes, colours, matter and a possible emotional load.
