The artwork, titled “Cat Litter,” was created by Robert Gober in 1989 and is regarded as a piece within the Conceptual Art movement. It belongs to the sculpture genre and aims to provoke thought and reflection through its representation.
“Cat Litter” by Robert Gober is a meticulously crafted sculpture that mimics a common bag of cat litter. The bag, seemingly made of paper, features a red and white color scheme with a painted illustration of a tabby cat’s face. Above the cat, the words “Fine Fare” are prominently displayed in yellow, with additional text in black below the cat stating “Cat Litter” alongside a description emphasizing its superior absorbing and deodorizing qualities. The artwork’s attention to detail and realistic portrayal subtly explore themes of domesticity and the mundane, challenging the viewer to reconsider the significance of everyday objects.
