The "Trick" of Materiality and Form in Tony Feher's Red Pair Waiting

Ewing examines the work of American artist Tony Feher who died in 2016, highlighting the sculpture Red Pair Waiting acquired by the Yale University Art Gallery. He states that Feher's sculptures feature brilliant colors and simple forms and employ materials as varied as glass marbles and bottles, plastic straws and buckets, coins, glitter, and potato-chip bags. He explains the ways in which Fehers work is connected to and departs from 1960s Minimalism. In doing so, he demonstrates how the artists life and work were intertwined.
