Saatchi Gallery Visit - 10/09/10


Matthew Darbyshire - Untitled: Shelf No. 5


I liked this piece of work immediately when I saw it as I was drawn in by the bright colours and cheap look of the items on display. When looking closer at the different shelves, I noticed that there were £1 price tags on the glasses - this seems to suggest that the artist is questioning an image of value - the items on the shelves aren't valuable, but are desirable in our society (e.g. Items from Ikea, Coca Cola glasses free from Mcdonalds).
