Did you know?
Many of this artist's works consist of arrangements of mass-produced objects, displayed on shelves of his own design.
Description
How does a seemingly random group of objects—products of society’s wants and needs—relate to each other? Haim Steinbach has been asking this question for several decades through his sculptures comprised of consumer objects he purchased or found and gathered onto shelving. The title of the work has been borrowed from the children’s tale Where the Wild Things Are to which the figure of the bull belongs. Each object has been given human characteristics, calling attention to the personal feelings and attention we invest in inanimate, replaceable things.
