White handwritten script spills across a stark black ground, posing the disarmingly simple question: 'What are you afraid of?' With the directness that has defined his practice since the 1960s Fluxus movement, Ben Vautier transforms text into a confrontational artwork that demands the viewer's personal engagement. The casual, intimate cursive belies the existential weight of the question. Part of a 2006 trio of Spanish-language screenprints, this work demonstrates Ben's enduring ability to collapse the distance between art object and lived experience with a single phrase.

What is Found Object?
A found object is a term used to describe a man-made or natural object, or a fragment of one, that an artist discovers or purchases and keeps for inspiration or as a work of art. The artist may also modify the object or incorporate it into a collage or assemblage, transforming it into a new piece of art.
