Neon tubing, signed by the artist. // Wittgenstein's Colour by Joseph Kosuth is a conceptual neon sculpture created in 1989, using bright red neon tubing to display the word (Red) in parentheses. This piece, measuring 16 cm by 38 cm by 2.7 cm, is part of a limited edition of 50 and signed by the artist. The work references philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's exploration of language, perception, and color theory, focusing on how words influence our understanding of concepts. By presenting the word “Red” in neon without showing the actual color itself, Kosuth emphasizes the separation between language and the thing it represents. This iconic neon artwork encourages viewers to reflect on the relationship between words, perception, and meaning in everyday life, embodying Kosuth's signature approach to language as a form of art.

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.
