"Fragile Delivery" 2012, Artist: Victoria Smith, Utility Box Art, Outside Natsoulas Gallery, 521 First Street, Davis, California
|
|
A utility box was painted to resemble an art shipping box. The near end was labeled, "Handle With Care."
A break in the face of the crate on this near side revealed the Mona Lisa inside.
|
|
The other end of the art also read, "Handle With Care."
The side of the box facing the street read, "Do Not Drop."
A busted hole in that street facing side revealed Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe."
|
|
A shipping label was painted on the side of the crate. It read:
|
|
Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe" peeked out from a break in the street facing side of the crate.
Underneath were two up-pointing arrows and the word, "Fragile."
|
|
The side of the crate had a hole busted in it. That hole revealed the Mona Lisa inside the box.
|
|
The back of the shipping crate had two up arrows and a white circle with the expression "A8" inside.
|
|
The back of the shipping box had two stencils applied to it. A broken wine glass indicated that the contents were fragile.
An open umbrella indicated that the contents should not be allowed to become wet.
|
|
A sign identifying the art was adhered to the concrete base. It had become so dirty that its text was nearly
obliterated.
