"Bob Nickas Represents You"
Kayrock and Wolfy
American
2007
A screenprint with ink additions that stages a provocative, tongue-in-cheek announcement—"Bob Nickas Represents You"—to question how names, dealers, and authority speak for viewers.
A rippling pale-blue field is dominated by stark black capitals—"REPRESENTS YOU"—with a scrawled name above and a tiny line of fine print at the bottom, looking at once official and oddly handmade.
By borrowing the language of advertising and official documents, the work operates as institutional critique, making visible how representation, branding, and text shape power and identity in the contemporary art world.
