Gavina/Simon Chile, 1971 upholstery, nylon 33 w x 36 d x 24 h in (84 x 91 x 61 cm)
MAgriTTA is an object that oscillates between art and functional design.
The object acts as a stool for occasional seating, but the form is borrowed from a painting by Rene Magritte, becoming a surrealist objet d'art. Matta is clever in utilizing a capitalization of the letters of his name in the titling of the object adding a final twist to the enigmatic form.
