Art is math. Some artists add, some subtract. The rest multiply.
Among the multipliers:
Tara Donovan Toothpicks
John Grade (at Suyama Space)
Jim Hodges, Silk Flowers (image via)
Tony Cragg, Stack 1975
Annette Messager at the Pompidou
Dale Chihuly, Victoria and Albert Museum, 2001
Damien Hirst Pharmacy (Image via)
Mike Simi Sex Offenders From My Hometown:Throw Pillow Series (Ongoing)
Printed fabric, found images
Finally, the greatest example of simultaneous addition and subtraction in contemporary art, David Hammons‘ Bliz-aard Ball Sale on Cooper Square in NYC, 1983.
