Lucas Samaras

Lucas Samaras: Room #1, 1964.

"In 1964 Lucas Samaras moved the contents of his studio-bedroom into a gallery space where it was displayed as an artwork entitled Room #1. Every component of the original room was transferred into the gallery with their original arrangement exactly reconstructed in the new space, creating what the artist called “as complete a picture of me without my physical presence as there could possibly be”. Provocatively, he has described the gesture as “the most personal thing that any artist could do” [1]." (bron: Tamarin Norwood)
