Two Lithographs on Arches Paper -excellent condition -Hand-signed by artist, Dated and Numbered -framed -Published by Newspace Gallery, Los Angeles
If You Fly, If You Drive by Chris Burden is a thought-provoking diptych lithograph from 1973. This limited edition work consists of two panels on Arches paper, each displaying a simple phrase in bold, handwritten text: “If you fly” and “If you Drive.” Below each phrase is a small image—a silhouette of a plane against a purple sky on the left, and two bright car headlights in darkness on the right. The juxtaposition invites viewers to consider contrasting modes of transportation and their implications. The minimalist presentation and the powerful simplicity of text and imagery reflect Burden's exploration of modern life and personal choice.

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.
