专家说明

Thomas Hirschhorn frequently takes on controversial and politicized content in his work. In CNN Necklace he has used the popular logo of the ubiquitous cable news channel to make a dramatically enlarged gold chain, transmuting urban ready-mades into an art work whilst ironizing the twenty-four hour news cycle that CNN developed in the 1980s.
