Table with Pink Tablecloth is an artwork by American artist Richard Artschwager, now in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
It is a work in three-dimensions constructed of formica on wood and is described as Artschwager's "most famous sculpture".[1] It was made in 1964 using skills Artschwager gained designing furniture using similar materials and similar techniques.[2] The sculpture measures 64.8 x 111.8 x 111.8 cm (25 1/2 x 44 x 44 in). Stylistically it shares attributes of Pop art and Minimalism.[3]
Artschwager is quoted as saying "It’s not sculptural. It’s more like a painting pushed into three dimensions. It’s a picture of wood."[4]
At the 2009 Venice Biennale, sculptor Rachel Harrison recreated Table with Pink Tablecloth in tribute.[4]
