Ostrich Sentinel With Manzoni Jar, Angelo Accardi

“Ostrich Sentinel With Manzoni Jar” by Angelo Accardi is a captivating mixed-media sculpture that pays tribute to Piero Manzoni's controversial work, "Artist's Shit." Crafted from black metal rods, the sculpture features an ostrich with its head placed inside a Manzoni Jar filled with a symbolic representation of the artist's excrement. This artwork not only cleverly references Manzoni's audacious exploration of art and value but also introduces an element of surrealism through the presence of the ostrich. The juxtaposition of the elegant bird and the provocative jar prompts contemplation on the boundaries of art and challenges viewers to question the nature of artistic expression and its impact on society. "Ostrich Sentinel With Manzoni Jar" stands as a thought-provoking and visually striking addition to the "Misplaced" Collection.
