During a career that spanned more than forty years, from the late 1960s until his death in 2012, Michael Asher created site-specific installations and institutional interventions that examined the conditions of art¿s production, display, and reception. At the Art Institute of Chicago, for example, he famously relocated a bronze replica of an eighteenth-century sculpture of George Washington from the museum¿s entrance to an interior gallery, thereby highlighting the disjunction between the statue¿s symbolic function as a public monument and its aesthetic origins as an artwork.
