Crazy Glasses Necklace
This is a necklace. It was designed by Ted Noten. It is dated 2008 and we acquired it in 2016. Its medium is silver, fur, snakeskin. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
This necklace, sporting mundane eyeglasses and a shabby piece of fur, is from Noten’s Sales exhibition which featured throw away objects and prototypes. They were placed in a gallery as part of an 80%-off sale, devised to expose not only the greed of the public, but also the inability of art to escape capitalist market practices.
