Mondays are B Wurtz

Mondays are B. Wurtz. — Wurtz – the B. stands for Bill – ‘was (and still am) more interested in having someone look at the work and draw whatever they can from it, rather than regard the person who made it,’ he once said in an @artforum interview. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The artist expands on this idea using the above work, nicknamed the ‘autobiographical sculpture’, as an example. ‘While it is, technically, autobiographical – in that it represents my age at its making (twenty-four) – it is more a formal statement than an emotional evocation of my life.’ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ RG: @Maisterravalbuena, who showed the 1972 work in the Galleries sector at Art Basel Miami Beach 2019. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #BWurtz #maisterravalbuena #artbasel #artbaselmiami #artbaselmiamibeach #sculpture #contemporaryart #conceptualart #arttheory #mondaymorning #mondaymood
