Michael Asher is known for the so-called “Situational Aesthetics”, a movement in Conceptual art that is critical on what defines art and on the production of commodities. Marcel Duchamp pointed out to a paradigm in the arts by inserting an already made object within an art context. It exposed the legitimising function of an institution and its crucial role in defining of what should be considered as art.

DAAN VAN GOLDEN, untitled / Souvenir, 2017
3 parts
screen print on fabric: 10,5 x 12,9 cm / gold envelope: 11 x 15,6 cm
condition: splendid
condition outer envelope “Souvenir”: smudged, verso crumpled
private collection
inv.DvG 000-pr
This gold coloured envelope with screen print on vinyl cloth depicts a characteristic dark red Daisy pattern that Daan van Golden often uses in his paintings and photographs. There is no sign of origin.
A white outer envelope entitled “Souvenir” contains a screen print in a golden coloured smaller envelope. At the back side a ‘D’ in print refers to the first name of the artist. The envelope’s colour in gold alludes with the surname of Daan van Golden. It is known that instead of a name plate next to his door bell a plate painted in gold was mounted, referring to his surname.
The grey line frame on the white envelope shows that this item was a thank object presented to family and friends for their compassion, condolences and sympathy after Daan van Golden deceased in 2017. Both envelopes lack any form of origin of publication.
