Richard Artschwager (B. 1923) was an American artist whose celebrated career defied categorization. Associated at different times in his career with Pop, Optical, Minimalist, and Conceptual Art, Artschwager freely traversed classifications to create his unique blend of humorous, inventive work. He often sought to confound such art-historical categories and challenge the relationship between perception and illusion. Artschwager’s early career as a furniture designer is evident in this untitled drawing of a house. His minimalist aesthetic forces the viewer with the distinction between art and design. Artschwager’s work has been the subject of numerous important exhibitions, such as at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and at the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
