One day early in RLF Home's life, a decor-challenged customer from New Jersey moseyed upstairs to the twin-bed section -- a room filled with Pine Cone Hill quilts and RLF Home curtains, children's couches and chairs upholstered in pastel velvets and chenilles -- and bought a bed frame, sheets, comforters, pillows and more.
Consisting of big batches of small, individually framed sheets, these works have a diaristic, slightly obsessive effect.
That same year, when Donald Judd and other minimalists were still formulating their sculptural revolution, Artschwager created such paeans to simplicity as "Triptych," a hinged wall piece that frames sheets of off-white Formica.
Mattresses and their related products (i.e., frames, sheets, pillows) have been, well, a sleepy category for decades.
There are flowered fabrics, wallpapers, painted and upholstered furniture, lamp shades, blinds and curtains, carpets, porcelain, tea services, boxes, trays, picture frames, sheets, towels, tablecloths, tea towels, toilet bags, pillows, potpourri, scented soaps and candles, perfumes and framed floral prints.
Both mattresses had been upended, and one lay sideways across its frame, the sheet torn off.
Put up temporary wallpaper or frame a sheet of wallpaper and hang it as an accent.
Each black-and-white print frames a sheet of glass with water beaded or dripping on it.
He bought steel tubing to build the frame, and sheets of aluminium for the wings and outer skin.
