Barbara Kruger (who celebrates her 75th birthday today) produced this work featuring Alvar Aalto’s Stool 60 in support of the ICA in London, which provided the artist with her first museum solo exhibition, in 1983.
Designed in 1933, the stackable Stool 60 is an iconic piece of furniture, used as a seat, a table, a plant stand or a display surface. Several million copies have been sold, worldwide.
Untitled (Kiss) was originally produced in an edition of 300. A second and final edition of 300 was later released, with one remaining copy available from the ICA bookstore, for £1,000.00, here.
