| Description |
This catalogue was published to accompany Perspectives 151: Dan Steinhilber, an exhibition featuring work designed specifically for the spaces of the Zilkha Gallery. Steinhilber constructs his sculpture out of large quantities of consumer detritus—plastic hangers, balloons, take-out containers, packing materials, chewing gum—which he sees as the signifiers of a culture of consumption that is global in nature. The shape, surface quality, color, and texture of these mass-market materials are essential components of his compositions, which function within an updated minimalist aesthetic. Includes an essay by Valerie Cassel Oliver, documentation on the artist’s career. |
