Forme Applique (Historique)

platinum letters on black Limoges porcelain
Dimensions variable
Edition of 200
(Inventory #20165)

For this project Joseph Kosuth created a buffet service entitled “Forme Appliquee (Historique)”, that consists of six unique patterns which reflect the 200 year history of Limoges’ porcelain production. All original decoration has been removed and replaced with the name of the pattern and the date when the service first appeared. This information is placed on the rim of the plate in the artist’s chosen typeface, Copperplate Gothic Bold Extended.

The six buffet plates are manufactured in Limoges. Each plate features platinum lettering on black porcelain.
