Gunter Figal - Simplicity. On a Bowl by Young-Jae Lee / Einfachheit. Uber eine Schale von Young-Jae Lee

There are things that would often not draw aesthetic attention. They may even be overlooked, as if they just belonged to their surroundings. They are by no means banal, but they are often not immediately and also not always recognized as artworks. They are no trivial results of mass production, but also no icons, which, universally known and spectacular as they are, receive conventional reverence and emphatic admiration. They are just there, being what they are.
