The artwork is titled “Urology Appointment” and was created by artist Robert Gober in 2007. This piece is associated with the Conceptual Art movement and falls under the genre of installation art.
The artwork portrays a small, framed appointment card from a medical office, specifically for urology. The card is centered within a large, white mat, emphasizing the clinical and procedural context of the artifact. The careful presentation of such an ordinary, yet personal, document raises questions about the intersections of personal lives and institutional processes, inviting viewers to contemplate the mundane yet significant moments of everyday existence. The minimalist aesthetic and formal presentation align with the principles of Conceptual Art, focusing on ideas and context rather than visual spectacle.
