Richard Artschwager was born in Washington D.C. on this day, December 26, in 1923. On the occasion, we are highlighting a conversation in "Gagosian Quarterly" in which Adam McEwen and Bob Monk discuss the artist's work. Describing Artschwager, McEwen says: "he takes the ordinary and peels away a layer from around it, and thereby releases the ordinary. So the ordinary becomes something much more loaded than you were able to sense at first sight."
