About the Artist
Walead Beshty is a prominent British-American artist whose conceptually driven practice spans photography, sculpture, and installation. He is renowned for works that foreground the conditions of their own making and circulation, often using materials that are susceptible to damage or alteration through process and transport. Beshty's "FedEx Boxes," for example, are glass objects shipped via FedEx, their cracks and breaks becoming part of the final artwork, documenting their journey. His work profoundly explores themes of value, entropy, time, and the underlying systems of the art world, inviting viewers to critically examine the materiality of objects and the processes that define them.
