DescriptionAM/4/A-Ba Inscribed in graphite l.r., "Artschwager/'73." Watermark: Strathmore Charcoal 100% cotton fiber U.S.A.Label TextA versatile artist, sculptor, painter, draftsman and printmaker, Artschwager is fascinated by the interaction of the processes of seeing and understanding. He represents familiar objects in different, scales, colors, and textures, to create symbols of experience. Though simple in its means, this drawing creates an oscillation of scale, figure and ground. Whether we imagine magnified fabric or microscopic crystals, it is enough for the artist to have directed our curiosity.ProvenanceMr. Richard Artschwager, Charlotteville, NY
