3 weeks agoFrom 10,000 pennies to a Beatles record haul, the obsessive work of Rutherford Chang heads to Beijing
Frequently described as a post-conceptualist, the US artist Rutherford Chang (1979-2025) created works from everyday objects, often amassed in large quantities over extended periods. His best-known projects include CENTS (2017-25), a solid block of 10,000 melted pennies, and We Buy White Albums (2013-25), an ever-evolving installation composed of hundreds of vinyl copies of The Beatles' self-titled ninth studio album, commonly known as The White Album because of its largely blank cover.
